At absolute zero temperature, pure silicon behaves as

At absolute zero temperature, pure silicon behaves as
  1. extrinsic semiconductor
  2. non-metal
  3. insulator
  4. metal

Solution

The semiconductor (Si) has negative temperature coefficient of resistivity. At absolute zero temperature, its resistance becomes infinite and it act like an insulator. /
