Insulators does not allow current (i.e. Electrons) to flow through it.

Valence band:In the energy band electrons are in the outer most of the orbit.

Conduction band : in energy band solid which is partially occupies the electrons.

What is meant by valence band and conduction band ?

But then why insulator is been called electronics material here ?

Manoj mittal said:   1 decade ago
Because insulator has high resistivity so it has low conductivity so insulator has very low electron flow.

Conductor- Allows the flow of Electron.

Insulator - Opposes the flow of electron.

Semiconductor - Sometimes allows or opposes the flow of electron.

Consider current as peoples getting down from a bus.

Conductor - bus having 2 doors

Semiconductor- bus having only one door

Insulator- bus having no doors :)

Insulator have high resistance. So current is zero.

Kumaresan said:   1 decade ago
For insulator the depletion region width is hagh between the valance band and conduction band. so there is no flow of free electrons.
