Energy gap is the amount of energy required to move valence electrons from valence band to conduction band.

Energy band gap is the difference between the top of valence band and bottom of conduction band.

What is conduction band?

Farouk said:   9 years ago
Energy gap is the minimum energy required to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band.

It is the energy required to move an electron from valance band to conduction band.

Anusha said:   1 decade ago
It is the energy between valance band and conduction band!

The energy gap is that sufficient energy which is acquired by the charge carrier to move its higher energy level.
