When temperature increases ionic conductance increases but electrical conductance decreases. Why and How?
Added by Troy S.
Step 1
- "Ionic conductance" means charge transport by ions (in liquids, gels, polymer electrolytes or ionic solids). - "Electrical conductance" in the usual context means electronic conductance (charge transport by electrons) as in metals. The microscopic carriers and Show more…
