The strength of a semiconductor crystal comes from______________?
Correct answer: C. Electron-pair bonds
- A. Forces between nuclei
- B. Forces between protons
- C. Electron-pair bonds
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Adjacent semiconductor atoms share valence electrons in covalent, or electron-pair, bonds. These bonds hold the crystal lattice together and provide its basic strength.
