The electrons which are present in the outer most shell are called the valence electrons and in case of semiconductors like Si, Ge no of valence electrons are 4.

Yes..that is correct

@Kanika & Santosh

Could you please derive the required steps to find the solution, instead of guessing ?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't get you it would be helpful if you could explain it.

Valance electrons means electrons in outer shell --- for a single element semi conductance there will 4 valence electrons as they are 4 group elements.

Kanika there is no solution for this.

Its simply architecture theory like earth revolves around the sun.

Its universal truth.

Correct answer

What does it mean that single element semiconductor ?

Vinod rana said:   1 decade ago
This is not a single. It is silicon element semiconductor.
