From what we know about Brillouin zones the points A and B (related by a reciprocal lattice vector) must be identical
This implies that the wave form of the vibrating atoms must also be identical.

Band Formation in 1Band Formation in 1--D SolidD SolidSimple model for a solid: the one-dimensional solid, which consists of a single, infinitely long
line of atoms, each one having one s orbital available for forming molecular orbitals (MOs).
“s” band
4β
When the chain is extended:
The range of energies covered by the MOs is spread
This range of energies is filled in with more and more orbitals
The width of the range of energies of the MOs is finite, while the number of molecular orbitals is infinite: This is called a band .
