Difference between electronic & electrolytic conductors

(3) Conduction increases with increase in temperature

(3) Conduction decreases with increase in temperature

(2) Flow of electricity is due to the movement of ions

(2) Conduction is due to the flow of electron

(1)Flow of electricity takes place by the decomposition of the substance.

(1) Flow of electricity take place without the decomposition of substance.

Resistance refers to the opposition to the flow of current.

For a conductor of uniform cross section(a) and length(l); Resistance R,

Conductance

The reciprocal of the resistance is called conductance. It is denoted by C. C=1/R Conductors allows electric current to pass through them. Examples are metals, aqueous solution of acids, bases and salts etc.

Insulators do not allow the electric current to pass through them.

Examples are pure water, urea, sugar etc.

Unit of conductance is ohm-1 or mho or Siemen(S)

Equivalent Conductance

Where, κ = Specific conductivity

V = Volume of solution in cc. containing one gram equivalent of the electrolyte.

It is the conductance of one gram equivalent of the electrolyte dissolved in V cc of the solution.

Equivalent conductance is represented by

Effect of Dilution on Conductivity Specific conductivity decreases on dilution. Equivalent and molar conductance both increase with dilution and reaches a maximum value. The conductance of all electrolytes increases with temperature.
