Metallic and Electrolytic Conduction:
The following are the points of difference between Metallic and Electrolytic Conduction-
Metallic Conduction | Electrolytic Conduction |
---|---|
Conduction through metals is due to the movement of electrons. | Conduction through electrolytes is due to the movement of ions. |
No change in the chemical properties of the conductors is observed. | It involves chemical decomposition of the electrolytes. |
It does not involve any transfer of matter. | It involves the transfer of matter as ions. |
The resistance of metals is due to obstacles of vibrating kernels of metal atoms. | The resistance of electrolytic solutions is due to factors like inter-ionic attractions, the viscosity of solvent etc. |
It decreases with the increase in temperature. | It increases with the increase in temperature. |
