My thinking is ... If intrinsinc semicoductor is doped with Hexavalent Impurity, then energy level of outermost orbit of hexavalent atom, will fall below than that of pentavalent atom, so more amout of energy will be required to move this newly generated electron to move from fermi level to conduction band of semicondoctor. And vice versa for Bavalent.
