The material in which the electrons are most likely to remain with the same atom.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The valence band contains electrons in the valence shell which are not free to move. When energy is supplied, the electrons in the valence band move to
In insulators most electrons are occupied in the valence band. There is a big energy gap which prevents the electrons to move to conduction band. Hence, in insulators the electrons are most likely to remain in the same atom.
Conclusion:
In insulators the electrons are most likely to remain in the same atom.
