The highest energy band in a solid that contains electrons.
xenon.che.ilstu.edu
The energy level which contains molecularly bound electrons which can not move within the crystal lattice. For there to be conduction in a semi-conductor, valence electrons much be stimulated to overcome the energy gap and enter the conductance band.
