- Select among the statements below the ones which are TRUE. There may be more than one true statement in the choices. a. In the band model, the electrons are assumed to occupy molecular orbitals.b. Usually, the gaseous form of a substance can still be solidified near (but not beyond) the critical point.c. In the electron sea model, the valence electrons in metals are assumed to be fixed in the lattice points.d. Conduction bands are closely spaced molecular orbitals with filled electron spaces.e. In p-type semiconductors, the dopant element typically contains three-valence electrons. Considering intermolecular forces, which of the following is INCORRECT?a. Ammonia, NH3 : H-bondingb. Acetone, H3C-C(=O)-CH3 : Dipole-dipolec. Bromine, Br2 : Dispersion forcesd. Formaldehyde, H2C=O : H-bondingarrow_forwardThe figure to the right shows sunlight intensity as a function of wavelength. Answer the following questions about materials that could act as the absorber (p-type semiconductor) in a heterojunction solar cell. a.What advantage would there be in using a 1000-nm wavelength bandgap absorber vs. one that had a 400-nm wavelength bandgap? (HINT: the bandgap is the minimum energy required to promote electrons.) b. One reason the electron-volt (eV) is often used as the bandgap unit in solar cell research is that the bandgap in eV is also equal to the maximum voltage that can be generated by the solar cell. With this in mind, what advantage would there be in using a 400-nm wavelength bandgap absorber vs. one that had a 1000-nm wavelength bandgap? c.In light of your answers to (a) and (b), can there be one “best” bandgap to use in a solar cell?arrow_forward
