Correct answer: A. less than that of unbounded electron

  • A. less than that of unbounded electron
  • B. greater than that of unbounded electron
  • C. equal to that of unbounded electron
  • D. infinite
  • E. none of the above

Explanation

A bound electron is confined to an atom and has less available energy than a free or unbound electron in the elementary energy-band description. This is why bound electrons cannot move freely through the material.
