Question

An element with a relatively large amount of electrons in the valence ring is considered to be a good conductor. True False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In every substance, there is a valence band and there is a conduction band. The gap between the valence band and the conduction band determines Whether a substance is a conductor or an insulator.

Conductors have a narrow gap between the valence band and the conduction band while insulators have a large gap between conduction band and insulation band. However, elements with a large number of electrons in the valence band are non conductors.
