Order the reasoning: why a pure semiconductor conducts

Read exercise and reference answers
Steps
  1. Start with a pure semiconductor crystal
  2. Thermal energy excites some electrons out of their bonds
  3. Each freed electron leaves a hole behind
  4. Both the electron and the hole can move
  5. So the pure material conducts, and is called intrinsic
Heat supplies the carriers. Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 14 Semiconductor Electronics.
