प्रश्न
How many 1s energy states are present in one mole of sodium vapour? Are they all filled in normal conditions? How many 3s energy states are present in one mole of sodium vapour? Are they all filled in normal conditions?
उत्तर
For sodium, the atomic number is 11. The electronic configuration of sodium is 1s2 2s22p6 3s1.
One sodium atom has 11 electrons. Thus, if the sodium crystals consist of N atoms, the total number of electrons will be 11 N. We know that for each atom, there are two states in the energy level 1s. Thus, the sodium crystal will have 2 N states for 1s energy level. Similarly, the number of states in 3s energy level will also be 2 N. 1s state is filled under normal condition. But the 3s state has only one electron per sodium atom, so the 3s band will be half-filled.

A semiconducting material has a band gap of 1 eV. Acceptor impurities are doped into it which create acceptor levels 1 meV above the valence band. Assume that the transition from one energy level to the other is almost forbidden if kT is less than 1/50 of the energy gap. Also if kT is more than twice the gap, the upper levels have maximum population. The temperature of the semiconductor is increased from 0 K. The concentration of the holes increases with temperature and after a certain temperature it becomes approximately constant. As the temperature is further increased, the hole concentration again starts increasing at a certain temperature. Find the order of the temperature range in which the hole concentration remains approximately constant.
