What happens to the acceptor atoms in a p-type semiconductor at room temperature?

A

Most of the acceptor atoms get ionised, creating holes in the valence band.

B

All acceptor atoms remain neutral and do not contribute to conductivity.

C

Acceptor atoms gain electrons and become negatively charged.

D

The acceptor atoms repel holes, decreasing hole concentration.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

At room temperature, most of the acceptor atoms in a p-type semiconductor become ionised, which results in the creation of holes in the valence band, as stated in the NCERT context.
