उत्तर
The conductivity, a property of materials C, Si, and Ge depends upon the energy gap between their conduction and valence bands.
Explanation:
The conductivity of materials like Carbon (C), Silicon (Si), and Germanium (Ge) depends on the energy gap between the valence band and conduction band. A smaller energy gap allows electrons to move easily to the conduction band, increasing conductivity. A larger energy gap results in lower conductivity.
