Identify the group 3A element that best fits each of the following descriptions.

(c) Is a semiconductor

Video transcript

All right. Hi everyone. So this question is asking to identify whether the following statement is true or false. Aluminum is the only element among group three A that is used in semiconductors. Now recall that after excluding the transacting nines and the super heavy elements, the elements of group three A are boron aluminum gallium, India and Sal you now recall that most of the group three A elements are used in semiconductors. But specifically, we can focus our attention on the 3 to 5 semiconductor because the 3 to 5 semiconductor is actually an alloy, which means that it's made of elements from both groups three A N five A in the periodic tape. So it's a mixture. Now of the elements that are listed from group three A, the ones that are used primarily in 3 to 5 semiconductors are boron, aluminum gallium and India. Whereas stadium is often referred or reserved for other types of semiconductors. So all of this is to say right, that the statement proposed in the text of the question happens to be false, right? Because aluminum is not the only element among group three A elements that are used in semiconductors matter of fact, all of the ones listed here are actually used in semiconductors just in different ways. So with that being said, thank you so very much for watching and I hope you found this helpful.
