NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): Doping silicon with a trivalent impurity results in a p-type semiconductor. | Reason (R): Trivalent atoms have three valence electrons which create holes in the silicon lattice.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Doping silicon with trivalent atoms like Boron creates holes, leading to the formation of a p-type semiconductor as the trivalent atoms have three valence electrons.
