The resistivity of silver is 1.6 × 10-8 Ω m at room temperature (300 K), while that of silicon is about

10 Ω m. (a) Show that this disparity follows, at least to a rough order of magnitude, from the approximate 1 eV band gap in silicon, (b) What would you expect for the room-temperature resistivity of diamond, which has a band gap of about 5 eV?
