Which outcome occurs when applying pressure to bismuth?

💡 Explanation

Pressure induces a structural transition; the electronic band structure changes favouring increased metallic bonding via *electronic band broadening*, because atomic orbitals overlap more. Therefore resistivity decreases, rather than enhancing generation, because the semiconductor bandgap diminishes.
