D)All are true.
E)None is true.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

P-type silicon is produced by doping silicon with elements that have one less valence electron than silicon, such as boron or gallium, not phosphorus (P) or arsenic (As) which are used for n-type doping. The mobile charge carriers in p-type silicon are holes, not protons. P-type silicon can conduct electricity well, though its conductivity characteristics differ from pure silicon due to the introduction of holes as charge carriers.
