C, Si, and Ge have the same lattice structure. Why is the C insulator?

1. because ionization energy for C is the least in comparison to Si and Ge.
2. because ionization energy for C is highest in comparison to Si and Ge.
3. the number of free electrons for conduction in Ge and Si is significant but negligibly small for C.
4. both (2) and (3).

Why can't we take one slab of p-type semiconductor and physically join it to another slab of n-type semiconductor to get a p-n junction?

1. the diffusion of majority charge carriers will not occur.
2. the junction will behave as a discontinuity for the flowing charge carriers.
3. the junction will behave as a continuity for the flowing charge carriers.
4. both (1) and (2).
