Answer

Electrical synapseChemical synapse
1. The gap between the successive neurons in electrical synapse is very less [3.8 nm],1. The gap between two successive neurons in chemical synapse is larger than electrical synapse [10-20 nm].
2. Transmission across the gap is faster in electrical synapse.2. Transmission across the gap in chemical synapse is relatively slower than electrical synapse.
3. Electrical synapse is less common.3. Chemical synapse is more common.
4. Electrical synapse is found in those places of the body requiring instant response.4. Chemical synapse is found almost everywhere and connects neuron to neuron, muscles or glands.
