Question
Explain the difference between electrolytic conduction and metallic conduction.

Answer

(i) Electrolytic conduction occurs through ions whereas metallic conduction occurs through electrons.
(ii) In electrolytic conduction, when electricity is passed, ions takes part in reaction, that is, electrolysis takes place, whereas there is no effect on metallic conduction.
(iii) Conductivity of electrolytic conductors increases on increasing the temperature whereas metallic conductors conductivity decreases with increase in temperature.
