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

Which of the following is accurate in describing the placement and classification of iodine?
fenix001 [56]
You can answer this question by only searching the element in the periodic table.

The atomic number of iodine, I, is 53. It is placed in the column 17 (this is the Group) and row 5 (this is the Period).

The conclusion is that the iodine is located in Period 5, Group 17, and is classified as a nonmetal.

Which property is characteristic of ionic but not of covalent compounds? 1. low boiling point 2. non-conductor of electricity in
otez555 [7]
Ionic and covalent bonds are both strong intermolecular forces. They are generally both crystalline in structure. But relatively speaking, ionic bonds are much stronger. As a consequence, they have inherent properties of higher boiling points, higher melting points, lower volatility, etc. Also, ionic bonds display conductive properties because they are strong electrolytes. <em>Thus, the answer is 5) higher melting points.</em>
