CBSEENPH12039919

If a small amount of antimony is added to germanium crystal

  • the antimony becomes an acceptor atom

  • there will be more free electrons than holes in the semiconductor

  • its resistance is increased

  • it becomes a p - type semiconductor

Solution

B.

there will be more free electrons than holes in the semiconductor

When a small amount of antimony is added to germanium crystal, the crystal becomes n- type semiconductor because antimony is  a pentavalent substrate. It excess free electrons.
