Solution

At room temperature (300Kelvin),

the electrons in the valence band are moved to the conduction band. When an electron leaves the valence band it creates a vacancy known as Hole.

A hole attracts electrons as it is positively charged.

In intrinsic semiconductor number of free electrons is equal to number of holes.
