1. conduction band

   In solid-state physics, the valence band and conduction band are the bands closest to the Fermi level, and thus determine the electrical conductivity of the solid. In nonmetals, the valence band is the highest range of electron energies in which electrons are normally present at absolute zero temperature, while the conduction band is the lowest range of vacant electronic states. On a graph of the electronic band structure of a material, the valence band is located below the Fermi level, while the conduction band is located above it. The distinction between the valence and conduction bands is meaningless in metals, because conduction occurs in one or more partially filled bands that take on the properties of both the valence and conduction bands.

1. Conduction band

   The conduction band is the range of electron energies enough to free an electron from binding with its atom to move freely within the atomic lattice of the material as a 'delocalized electron'. Various materials may be classified by their band gap: this is defined as the difference between the valence and conduction bands. ⁕In non-conductors, aka insulators, the conduction band is higher than that of the valence band, so it takes infeasibly high energies to delocalize their valence electrons. They are said to have a non-zero band gap. ⁕In conductors, such as metals, that have many free electrons under normal circumstances, the conduction band overlaps with the valence band--there is no band gap. ⁕In semiconductors, the band gap is small. This explains why it takes a little energy to make semiconductors' electrons delocalize and conduct electricity, hence the name, semiconductor. Electrons within the conduction band are mobile charge carriers in solids, responsible for conduction of electric currents in metals and other good electrical conductors. The concept has wide applications in the solid-state physics field of semiconductors and insulators.
