Why Does Band Gap Energy Increase Higher Up the Periodic Table?

[QUOTE="TeethWhitener, post: 6180395, member: 511972"] This is one way of thinking about it. More precisely, the difference in electronegativities increases going from CdSe to ZnS. What this means is that ZnS is more ionic in character, so the electrons in the crystal tend to stay more localized to one center than spreading out over multiple centers. [/QUOTE]
