What else can I help you with?
What are examples of semiconductors?
Germenium and silicon are the examples of Semiconductors.
What extrinsic semiconductor is?
Those semiconductors in which some impurity atoms are embedded are known as extrinsic semiconductors.
What is the difference between power semiconductors and semiconductors?
power semiconductorspower semiconductors can drive large currents during forward biassemiconductorsemiconductors drive small currents during forward bias
Are there semiconductors on a Motherboard?
many of them.
Why do we mostly use indirect semiconductors?
The indirect band gap semiconductors like silicon and germanium are mostly used because they are elemental, plentiful, and easier to process than the direct band gap semiconductors which are alloys or compounds.
What are nonmetals that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
Semiconductors
Are non metals semiconductors?
Metals are conductors. Semiconductors are usually non-metals or metalloids.
Nonmetals that can conduct heat and electricity under some circumstances are classified as what?
semiconductors.
Are nonmetals semiconductors?
Some are, such as silicon and germanium. Others are non-conductors known as insulators, such as glass.
Is non metal a semi conductor?
No. Nonmetals are generally non-conductors. Metalloids are usually semiconductors.
Do nonmetals tend to be just as good conductors as metal?
No, nonmetals tend to be insulators. Some (e.g. carbon) are poor conductors. Semiconductors (e.g. silicon and germanium) in their pure form are insulators but when doped with the right impurities can conduct as good as metals. This is why they are called semiconductors.
How does the location of semiconductors on the periodic table differ from the locations of other element families?
Semiconductors are located in groups 13-16 of the periodic table, which is different from the location of other element families like metals and nonmetals. Semiconductors have an intermediate conductivity compared to metals and nonmetals, making them important for electronics. Their position on the periodic table gives them unique properties related to their electronic structure and bonding abilities.
What are two uses of nonmetals?
Nonmetals can be used as insulators in electrical wiring to prevent the flow of electricity. Additionally, nonmetals are used in the production of electronic components such as semiconductors and LEDs.
Do metalloids have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
Yes, metalloids have properties that sit between metals and nonmetals. They can conduct electricity to some extent like metals, but can also behave as insulators in some conditions like nonmetals. They also have intermediate physical properties such as luster and conductivity.
What are the characteristics of semi metal?
Semi-metals (or metalloids) are good semiconductors. They have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They also have ranging reactivity levels.
Are metalloids precious metals?
No. They are elements (e.g., arsenic, antimony, or tin) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals or semiconductors.
Which family does boron belong to?
Boron, B belongs to the semiconductors(metalloids) family. Semiconductors are located toward the right side of the periodic table.
