(a)
Interpretation:
For the given doping process, the type of semiconductor has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
n-type semiconductor:
In this type of semiconductors, conductivity is increased by doping an element with 5 valence electrons (i.e. doped atom acts as a donor impurity).
p-type semiconductor:
In this type of semiconductors, conductivity is increased by doping an element with 3 valence electrons (i.e. doped atom acts as an acceptor impurity).

After she heated it in the microwave for a few seconds, she poured the syrup onto her pancakes and it came out quickly. Why did the syrup come out quicker after she warmed it up? a. Its surface tension decreased because the radiation from the microwave broke the intermolecular forces it had. b. The radiation from the microwave increased its viscosity by breaking the syrup's intermolecular forces. c. Its surface tension increased because the radiation from the microwave broke the intermolecular forces it had. d. The radiation from the microwave decreased its viscosity by breaking the syrup's intermolecular forces. 2.
