This is semiconductor physics at its most relatable! The image shows the valence and conduction bands of a semiconductor with a 1.1 eV band gap (exactly silicon's gap, for the ultra-nerds keeping score). Those poor electrons in the valence band are like the dedicated fans stuck in expensive seats watching their team get demolished - they've paid the energy price but can't escape to the conduction band without that crucial 1.1 eV boost. Meanwhile, the few electrons that made it to the conduction band are the lucky ones who've already given up and headed for the exits. Semiconductor physics: where electrons and disappointed sports fans are basically the same thing!
