10.1.1 Energy bands
q' \" k7 B; P1 O8 ^2 XAccording to the planetary model of an isolated atom, the nucleus that con[size=9.96001pt]tains protons and neutrons constitutes most of the mass of the atom. Electrons! j& l: M v! B- u& J
surround the nucleus in specific orbits. The electrons are negatively charged[size=9.96001pt]and the nucleus is positively charged. If an electron absorbs energy (in the/ B; |3 R% H6 [" i% ?6 V3 ], j
form of a photon), it moves to orbits further from the nucleus. An electron[size=9.96001pt]transition from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit emits a photon for& i, a, K! a; D4 ^4 V

The energy levels of the outer electrons form energy bands. In insulators, the[size=9.96001pt]lower energy band (valence band) is completely filled and the next energy8 P. `4 P9 K( Y! o' Y7 ]) w
band (conduction band) is completely empty. The valence and conduction[size=9.96001pt]bands are separated by a forbidden energy gap.
