Q. The manifestation of band structure in solids is due to decreases the majority charge carries
A) Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle
B) Pauli’s exclusion principle
C) Bohr’s correspondence principle
D) Boltzmann’s law
Explanation
(b) According to Pauli’s exclusion principle, the electronic configuration of number of subshells existing in a shell and number of electrons entering each subshell is found. Hence, on the basis of Pauli’s exclusion principle, the manifestation of band structure in solids can be explained.
