Gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium phosphide (GaP) are compound semiconductors that have roomtemperature band gap energies of 1.42 and 2.26 eV, respectively, and form solid solutions in all proportions. The band gap of the alloy increases approximately linearly with GaP additions (in mol%). Alloys of these two materials are used for light-emitting diodes wherein light is generated by conduction band-valence band electron transitions. Determine the composition of a GaAs–GaP alloy that will emit red light having a wavelength of 0.60 μm.

a non redox reaction occurs when there is not a transfer of electrons. for redox reactions, which are reduction-oxidation reactions, a change in the oxidation number occurs. elements that are reduced gain electrons, and elements that are oxidized lose electrons.

explanation:

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
