In a diamond-like crystal structure of Silicon with a lattice spacing of 5.43 Å, how does the movement of holes differ from the movement of conduction electrons under an applied electric field?
A
Holes move as bound electrons fill empty bonds, while conduction electrons move freely.
B
Both holes and conduction electrons move freely without any bound states.
C
Conduction electrons move by jumping between empty bonds, while holes move freely.
D
Holes and conduction electrons both move as bound electrons filling empty bonds.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
From the NCERT context, holes move by bound electrons filling empty bonds, whereas conduction electrons move freely as independent particles.
