Electronic band structure

describes the range of energies that an electron within the solid may have and ranges of energy that it may not have

In solid-state physics, the electronic band structure describes the ranges of energy levels an electron can or cannot possess. Band structure is responsible for the electrical properties of a metal, such as electrical resistivity, and optical absorption.
