Thank you very much. You are great. I am not specialized in this field. So, may be I get confused because it was a question contains two parts, the first part includes this attached image while the second without this image & I have separated them in 2 posts.

The question is:

According to the following figure:

📷

(a) Why the Fermi level is in the middle of the band gap for an insulator but isn’t for metal? (on the attached image)

(b) What is the electron binding energy for metals, semiconductors and insulators?

Could you please help me in them from your experience ?
