2 students make solutions of CuCl2.2H2O using 25-mL volumetric flasks. student A weighs out 2.489g of solid, and student B weighs out 1.867g.
c.) which solution would you expect to absorb more light in the colorimeter? Briefly explain.
Semiconductor materials are the basis of modern electronics
Conduction band
(e.g. the transistors, memory and camera in your cell phones).
Common semiconductor materials include Si, GaAs and CdSe.
The energy states of semiconductors are generally divided into
the valence band, where the electrons are bound to the atoms,
2S(e)
1D(e)
and the conduction band where the wavefunction solutions of
1P(e)
electrons allow some of them (the excited electrons) to move
through the bulk material. The energy difference between the
maximum energy level of the valence band, termed the valence
band maximum (VBM), and the lowest energy of the conduction
band, termed the conduction band minimum (CBM), of bulk
CdSe is 1.74 eV. As shown in the figure, this difference is known
as the bandgap energy, Eg. The CBM can be regarded as the
excited state while the VBM can be regarded as the ground
state. (we will not concern ourselves with the S, P, etc. orbital
designations in the figure).
