Which of the following material is not a semiconductor.
  1. (A)Germanium
  2. (B)Graphite✓ Correct
  3. (C)Silicon
  4. (D)Copper oxide

Answer: (B)

Solution

Germanium and silicon are intrinsic semiconductors and copper oxide is a semiconductor. Graphite is a good electrical conductor (delocalised electrons), not a semiconductor. Hence graphite.
