Q. The element which is exclusively applied as semiconductor:

 2628  240 The p-Block Elements Report Error

Solution:

Both Ge and Si are extensively used as semiconductors. Semiconductors are solids where there is only a small difference in energy, called band gap, between the filled valency band of electrons and a conduction band since the band gap of Ge is less than Si, it is a better element to be used as semiconductor.
