1The band gap is the difference in energy levels between the conduction band and the valence band.
2The conduction band and valence band overlap in conductors.
3The band gap in semiconductors is greater than that of insulators.✓
4Insulators have the maximum band gap and hence they do not conduct even in the presence of an external electric field.

Correct answer

The band gap in semiconductors is greater than that of insulators.
