According to band theory mg is an insulator while in practice it is a conductor why?

According to band theory , the energy gap between valence band and conduction band was high. But during heating the energy gap get decreased. this is the reason why the mg behaves as an conductor.


Why do rubber bands have potential energy?

Only if they are stretched. It takes energy to pull the rubber band apart; in theory you can recover the energy when it collapses again. That's what potential energy is all about.

What is the difference between Free Electron Theory and Band Theory of solids?

Free Electron Theory:This theory tells that, metals conduct electricity because of the presence of free electrons in it. The outermost shells of metal atoms will be loosely bound with their nucleus. So the electrons in it are free to move anywhere in the solid.These electrons are called free electrons and they are responsible for the conduction of electricity.Band theory of solids:A solid is assumed to contain many bands in which the electrons in it are packed. The most important are valence band and conduction band. The energy of electrons in these bands will be different.The difference in energies of valence band and conduction band determines whether the solid is a conductor, semi - conductor or insulator.For insulators, the difference between energies of them ( energy gap ) will be very high, and for conductor, these bands overlap each other.The conduction band carries the electrons that conduct electricity, but the valence band has all the electrons in the ground state. Whether they go into the conduction band depends on the temperature and the energy gap between the bands. In a conductor, these bands overlap, and hence many electrons can become conducting. Thus, Band Theory explains distinction between metals and insulators, which Free Electron theory cannot do (since it assumes all valence electrons become conducting). Calculations are be performed to see which materials will have big energy gaps and which will have overlapping bands.


Is there energy in a rubber band?

If a rubber band is stretched, it has elastic energy.


What energy is Under extraordinary conditions matter can be changed into?

the answer to this question is theory theory


Is stretched rubber band a potential energy or kinetic energy?

A stretched rubber band is potential energy because the energy is stored.


What energy is stored in a stretched rubber band?

If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. If you stretch a rubber band you have created tension, and therefore strain energy. Latent energy. Potential energy


What kind of energy stored in rubber band?

Astretched rubber band has potential energy.

Does a rubber band have kinetic energy?

If you fling the rubber band then it has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is when the energy is being used up. The rubber band would have to be in motion, or working in some sort of way,
