What are metallic conductors ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Difference between metallic conductors and electrolytic conductors.

(b) Factors on which conductance depends:
(i) Nature of electrolyte. Strong electrolytes `[HCl,H_(2)SO_(4),NaOH]` have a large values of conductance, while weak electrolytes `[CH_(3)CO OH,Ca(OH)_(2)]` have low values of conductance.
(ii) Concentration of solution. Molar conductance increase with dilution whereas specific conductance decreases with dilution.
(iii) Temperature. conductance increases with increase of temperature.
(iv) Ionic interactions and association decrease conductance.
(v) Nature of solvent. The greater the viscosity of solvent, lesser the conductance.
