Question
Chapter 6, Problem 23Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the given diagram represents p-type silicon semiconductor or n-type silicon semiconductor has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
n-type semiconductor:
In this type of semiconductors, conductivity is increased by doping an element with 5 valence electrons (i.e. doped atom acts as a donor impurity).
p-type semiconductor:
In this type of semiconductors, conductivity is increased by doping an element with 3 valence electrons (i.e. doped atom acts as an acceptor impurity).

A nonmetal element in the third row of the periodic table exists as two allotropes (two different physical forms of the same element). One allotrope exists as an extended network while
the other exists as discrete molecules. In the lab, you gather the following evidence about two allotropes of this element:
Physical Form of Element Melting Point
Allotrope 1
Allotrope 2
03
Which allotrope do you predict likely exists as an extended network and why?
1. Allotrope 2 because strong covalent bonds within the molecule require a lot of energy to break when melting a substance from a solid to a liquid.
2. Allotrope 1 because small molecules require less energy due to the weaker interactions to overcome compared to breaking strong covalent bonds when an extended network melts
(essentially disintegrating).
3. Allotrope 1 because its lower melting point suggests that it makes a good liquid.
4. The data is wrong as all allotropes of the same element must have the same properties.
5. It is…
