  "term": "Occupied band",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An energy band in a solid material, such as a polymer, where electrons are present and fill the available energy states up to a certain energy level. In semiconductors and insulators, the highest occupied band is the valence band. Electrons in this band are typically involved in chemical bonding.",
