Question:medium

Arrange the following semiconductors in descending order of band gap :
A. Si
B. Ge
C. GaP
D. ZnS
E. SiC

Show Hint

Band gap generally increases as you move up a group in the periodic table (smaller atoms) or as the ionicity of the bond increases (e.g., II-VI compounds like ZnS usually have larger gaps than IV elements like Si).
