Silver is conducting as such while AgNO(...

Silver is conducting as such while `AgNO_(3)` is conducting in molten state or in aqueous solution. Explain ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Ag` is conducting as such because it contains free electrons while `AgNO_(3)` is conducting in molten or in aqueous solution because ions are produced in molten or in aqueous solution.
