Introduction to Electronics

Tutorial 3 1. Draw the basic structure of an atom 2. Nucleus charged particle of an atom is called . 3. The negatively charge particle of an atom is called 4. The outmost orbit is called . 5. The negatively charged particle occupying the outmost orbit is called . 6. A set of orbits is called 7. When an atom is losing the valence electron, the atom is called an and the electron is called electron. The vacancy left by the electron is called a 8. Explain the difference between insulator, semiconductor and the conductor in terms of its atomic structure. Give example for each. 9. An insulator is a material . 10. A conductor is a material.. 11. A semiconductor is a material 12. Covalent bond occurs when an atom shares 13. Doping is the process . 14. Pure semiconductor is called .. 15. Impure semiconductor is called . 16. Doping is the process of .. 17. Pentavalent atom has .. valence electrons and often called as .atom. When combined with a silicon atom, will produce . type semiconductor. 18. Trivalent atom has .. valence electrons and often called as .atom. When combined with a silicon atom, will produce . type semiconductor. 19. In P-type semiconductor, the majority charge carries are and in N-type semiconductor, the majority charge carries are. 20. Draw a PN junction.
