Why it matters

This objective helps connect Metals as conductors to exam-style questions, flashcards, and revision notes for How bonding and structure are related to the properties of substances.

Quick student answer

What should you know about distinguish metallic conductivity from ionic conductivity in terms of the particles that move?

Direct answer

In Chemistry, this page helps you answer questions about distinguish metallic conductivity from ionic conductivity in terms of the particles that move within How bonding and structure are related to the properties of substances. Focus on the key process, correct scientific terms, and how the idea links to exam-style questions. Key terms to check are metallic conductivity and ionic conductivity.

Key terms

  • metallic conductivity: the ability of metals to conduct electricity due to the movement of delocalised electrons.
  • ionic conductivity: the ability of ionic compounds to conduct electricity when molten or dissolved, due to the movement of mobile ions.

Common trap

Confusing Conductivity: Clarify that metallic conductivity involves delocalised electrons as mobile charge carriers, while ionic conductivity involves the movement of mobile ions.
