in metals free electrons are responsible while in electrolysis free ions are moved and generally move with slow speed

Why equivalent conductance increase with dilution whereas specific conductance decrease?
the specific conductance of the electrolyte falls because of the no of current carring particles i.e. ions present per centimetercube of the soltion becomes less and less on dilution how ever increase in eqi bacause it is the product of specific conductance and rthe volume v of the sol contain 1 gm of eq electrolyte or one mole of the elecrtrolute that's why .............................................
What is a 'poor metal'?
a black metal
Are alkali metal and alkaline earht metals similar?
The alkali earth metals act in a similar but slightly less reactive way to alkali metals
Is vanadium a good electrical conductor?
Vanadium has slightly less resisitivity than lead, but approximately 11 times that of copper. It is not normally used as an electrical conductor, but is used in redox flow batteries and certain semiconductor applications.
What is a good website to compare non-metals and metals?
Metals have a characteristic silvery, shiny appearance, they are electrically conductive, flexible (except for mercury which is liquid), and they engage in chemical reactions in which they are electron donors, forming positive ions. Non-metals are less shiny, generally not good electrical conductors, not as flexible, and they engage in chemical reactions in which they receive electrons, forming negative ions. Some non-metals such as carbon can either give or receive electrons, but even when they give electrons they do not do so as readily as metals do.
Are all types of metals good conductors?
Yes, but alkali and alkaline earth metals have less conductance.

Is iron a good electrical conductor?
Yes, but it's less useful for electronics purposes than other less resistive, more ductile metals like copper, aluminum, silver, gold, etc.
What are important properties of acids and bases?
Acids: 1) Taste Sour 2) PH less than 7 3) Proton Donnors 4) Lewis Acids 5) React with Metals to give hydrogen 6) Electrolytes Bases: 1) Taste Bitter 2) PH greater than 7 3) Proton Acceptors 4) Electrolytes
What is a 'poor metal'?

Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are?
Almost all the rest of the metals.
Are alkali metal and alkaline earht metals similar?
The alkali earth metals act in a similar but slightly less reactive way to alkali metals
Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are called?
I believe that the answer you are looking for is Transition Metals.
Can electrolytes be absorbed through the skin?
Yes, but far less in quantity than through intestines.
What kind of elements has less than 4 valence electrons?
Boron group, transition metals, alkaline earth metals and alkali metals are listed in the Periodic Table are having less than four valence electrons

Do ceramics expand more or less than metals?
Less.Less.Less.Less.
