Band Theory

Band theory is a method that calculates the energy gap in electrons of a specific solid to separate two kinds of bands, namely Valence bands and Conduction bands. Any solid can be classified among Conductors, Semiconductors, and Insulators based on its properties. Contrary to the discrete energy of free atoms, the quasi-visible bands are the
