The conductivity of metals decreases while that of electrolytes increases with increase in temperature. Why?
With increase in temperature, the K.E. of metal cation increases and obstructs the free flow of electrons decreasing the conducts of metal while in case of electrolytes, increased temperature increases the mobility of ions this increases the conductance of ions.
