Conduction band electrons have more mobility than holes because they
A. Are lighter
B. Experience collision less frequently
C. Have negative charge
D. Need less energy to move them
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
When an electric field is applied, both the valence electrons and the free electrons move in the same direction. The hole direction is opposite to that of valence electron but the mobility is the same. Even for the same electric field, valence electrons cannot move as freely as the free electrons because its movement is restricted due to collisions. Therefore, the velocity of valence electrons is less compared to free electrons. In other words, the velocity of holes is less compared to free electrons. This means mobility is also less for a hole compared to free electron.Related Questions on Chemistry
