Best Answer

Donor atoms are those impurity atoms in a semiconductor material that give free electons to the material, for example a 5-valent atom in a semiconductor consisting of 4-valent atoms. Acceptor atoms are 3-valent atoms in a 4-valent semiconductor, so an acceptor atom can "accept" an electron from the surrounding atoms what leaves a free "hole" . Free electrons (from donor atoms) and free holes (from acceptor atoms) make the semiconductor conduct electricity.

Why should donor atoms donate the electrons?

Donor atom should donate the electrons to get into a stable state... and sometimes to form an ionic compound..


What is the difference between an electron donor and electron acceptor?

Donor atoms are atoms that donate electrons and have an extra pair of electrons in their orbital. Acceptor atoms are atoms that accept electrons and have a empty orbital to accommodate the extra electrons.

Does CCl2F2 have hydrogen bond?

CCl2F2 can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor at the fluorine atoms, by not as a hydrogen bond donor, as it does not have any hydrogen atoms.


Is SCl4 an acid?

No, an acid is a H+ donor, and SCl4 doesn't contain any H atoms.


What is depletion region in PN junction?

when the p type semi conductor is connected to n type the electrons in n type migrates towards p type to fill the vacancy i.e holes in p type. As a result accepter ions are developed in n type and donor ions in p type which restrict further movement of electrons and holes . this layer of donor and accepter ions at the pn-junction is called depletion region. and across this region a potential is developed which is called barrier potential.
