At absolute zero, Si acts as

1. non-metal
2. metal
3. insulator
4. none of these

Correct answer: insulator

Solution

At absolute zero, silicon (Si), being a semiconductor, has no free electrons available for conduction as all electrons are bound in the valence band. This makes it behave as an insulator.
