Question

For the following questions please use more detail than the band theory explanation.

1a) What atomic energy levels combine to form the valence band?? Please specify the specific energy levels; a diagram will help!

1b) What atomic energy level combine to form the conduction band?? Please specify the specific energy levels and a diagram!!

1c) If there is a relatively low concentration of an ionic impurity in an insulator how does its electronic structure appear in the band structure of the insulator (please include a diagram in your answer).
