Each covalent bond in the semiconductor, consists of two valence electrons contributed by two neighbouring atoms. When one of the valence electrons leaves the bond, the bond becomes incomplete. This incomplete bond has a strong tendency to complete itself by attracting an electron. The hole is the...
According to valence bond theory, which atomic orbitals of carbon may be hybridized to account for bonding? Why? A. 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals all may hybridize; these orbitals are of the same phase. B. Only 2p orbitals may hybridize; the...
