Classification Of materials based on energy bands
Inside the crystal each electron has a unique position and no two electrons see exactly the
same pattern of surrounding charges.
Hence each electron will have a different energy level.
These different energy levels with continuous energy variation form energy bands.
The energy band which including the energy levels of the valence electrons is called the
valence band.
The energy band above the valence band is called the conduction band.
The gap between the top of the valence band and bottom of the conduction band is
called the energy band gap (Energy gap Eg ).

In metals, conduction and valance bands overlap each other.
In semiconductors small band gap (Eg < 3eV ) exists between conduction and valance
band.
In Insulators large band gap (Eg > 3eV ) exists between conduction and valance band.
