(a)
Interpretation:
The classification of each material into insulator, semiconductor, and conducting material should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The band theory is used to explain hardness, electrical conductivity, melting point for different metals. It can be explained as a theory related to set of MOs that have very less energy difference between them. These sets of MOs are also known as bands. Melting point of any metal depends on occupancy of both MOs, bonding and antibonding. When the electron from bonding MO can be excessed easily relative to antibonding MO electrons, then melting point metal is higher.
(b)
Interpretation:
The increasing order of band pictures with respect to electrical conductivity should be determined.
