WHAT DOES CONDUCTION BAND MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Conduction band

The conduction band is the range of electron energies enough to free an electron from binding with its atom to move freely within the atomic lattice of the material as a 'delocalized electron'. Various materials may be classified by their band gap: this is defined as the difference between the valence and conduction bands. ▪ In non-conductors, commonly known as insulators, the conduction band is higher than that of the valence band, so it takes infeasibly high energies to delocalize their valence electrons. They are said to have a non-zero band gap. ▪ In semiconductors, the band gap is small. This explains why it takes a little energy to make semiconductors' electrons delocalize and conduct electricity, hence the name, semiconductor. ▪ In metals, the Fermi level is inside at least one band. These Fermi-level-crossing bands may be called conduction band, valence band, or something else depending on circumstance. Electrons within the conduction band are mobile charge carriers in solids, responsible for conduction of electric currents in metals and other good electrical conductors.
