_____ represents a set of forbidden energies that do not correspond to any allowed combinations of atomic orbitals.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The set of forbidden energies that do not correspond to any allowed combinations of atomic orbitals is called the band gap. This gap is a range of energies within a solid where no electron states can exist. The valence band and conduction band are part of the energy bands, but do not represent the set of forbidden energies. Bandwidth is a measure of the range of energies within an energy band.
