When you add a controlled amount of substance known as an impurity to a pure semiconductor, its conductivity increases. This pro

cess is known as doping. The addition of an impurity can increase or decrease the number of available electrons. If the number of electrons is increased, the extra electrons conduct electricity. If the number of electrons is decreased, a vacant hole is created. The adjacent electron enters the vacant hole and conducts electricity. Thus, it seems like the holes act as charge carriers. They are considered to be positive charge carriers. Depending upon the charge carriers that conduct electricity, there are two types of semiconductors: p-type semiconductors and n-type semiconductors.Which of the following statements are correct with respect to semiconductors?
a) The addition of group 3A elements to group 4A semiconductors decreases the conductivity of the group 4A semiconductors.
b) The conductivity of semiconductors can be increased by the doping process.
c) As the temperature increases, the conductivity of semiconductors decreases.
d) The addition of group 5A elements to group 4A semiconductors increases the conductivity of the group 4A semiconductors.
e) Holes are charge carriers in p-type semiconductors.
f) Electrons are charge carriers in n-type semiconductors.

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

1. The addition of group 3A elements to group 4A semiconductors decreases the conductivity of the group 4A semiconductors: Wrong

The addition of 3A group elements inreases the conductivity and make them extrinsic semiconductors( p-type)

2. The conductivity of semiconductors can be increased by the doping process.: Correct

3.As the temperature increases, the conductivity of semiconductors decreases.. wrong

As the temperature increases, the conductivity of semiconductors increases.

4. The addition of group 5A elements to group 4A semiconductors increases the conductivity of the group 4A semiconductors: Correct : They will create n-type semicoductor.

5.Holes are charge carriers in p-type semiconductors: Correct

6. Electrons are charge carriers in n-type semiconductors: Correct

What was the half-life of a new isotope?
REY [17]
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.

In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ

Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.

How do you tell if an element is a solid, liquid or gas (ex. Na2S)
svetoff [14.1K]
Solids have a definite shape, and a definite volume.
Liquids have a definite volume, but have no definite shape.
Gas have neither a definite volume nor a definite shape.

Hope this helps!

The following charges on individual oil droplets were obtained during an experiment similar to Millikan's. Determine a charge fo
RSB [31]

Answer:

- 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹coulombs

Explanation:

Charge on individual oil droplet would be multiple of charge on one electron . So we will find out the minimum common factor of given individual charges that is the LCM of all the charges given.

LCM of given charges like 3.204 , 4.806 ,8.01 and 14.42 . We have neglected the power of ten( 10⁻¹⁹)  because it is  already a common factor to all.

The LCM  is 1.602 . So charge on electron is 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹.
