    a Insulator
    b Metal
    c Semiconductor
    In a semiconductor, the valence band is fully
    occupied by electrons but the conduction
    band is empty. The bands are close in
    energy, so some electrons gain enough
    energy to jump across into the conduction
    band. As temperature decreases, the
    number of electrons that can jump into
    the conduction band also decreases. This
    means conductivity decreases, and resistivity
    increases.

    a Electrons can behave as waves so they can
    be diffracted by spaces between atoms.
    b Each metal has a different lattice structure,
    so each will produce a different diffraction
    pattern.
