Answer:

Mass and charge is conserved

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter is neither created or destroyed. With the exception of nuclear reactions where mass is converted to energy thereby leading to an apparent loss in mass, this law applies to chemical reactions.

A redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction which involves a transfer of electrons. In a redox reaction, the mass of reactant particles is conserved. Also, as electrons are transferred between atoms, one donates and the other accepts. The charge of atoms depends on this gain or loss of electrons. A gain of electrons reduced the charge of an atom whereas a loss of electrons increases the charge. This two processes occur concurrently, therefore, charge is also conserved.

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How

Basile [38]

Answer:

B.) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

Silicon is located in the 3rd row and 14th column in the periodic table. Arsenic is located in the 4th row and 15th column in the periodic table. This means that arsenic has one more valence electron than silicon. Since arsenic is located one row down from silicon, its valence electrons occupy higher energy orbitals.

Silicon maintains a crystal-like lattice structure. Each silicon atom is covalently connected to assume this shape. When silicon gains one extra electron from arsenic, it experiences n-type doping. This new electron is not tightly bound in the lattice structure. This allows it to move more freely and conduct more electricity. This can also be explained using band gaps. Silicon, which previously had an empty conduction band, now has one electron in this band. This lowers the band gap between the conduction and valence bands and increases conductivity.
