Key Topics to Revise

1

Electric Conduction and Conductivity

  • Two types of conduction: Metallic (electronic) and Electrolytic (ionic)
  • Metallic conduction involves flow of electrons through conduction band
  • Electrolytic conduction involves movement of ions in solution or molten state
2

Kohlrausch's Law and Applications

  • At infinite dilution, each ion migrates independently of co-ion
  • Λ⁰ = n₊λ⁰₊ + n₋λ⁰₋ (sum of ionic contributions)
  • For strong electrolytes: Λ = Λ⁰ - a√c (linear relationship)
3

Electrolytic Cells and Electrolysis

  • Electrolysis: breaking down ionic compounds by passing electricity
  • Anode (+): oxidation occurs, cathode (-): reduction occurs
  • In electrolytic cells, electrical energy converts to chemical energy
4

Galvanic Cells and Cell Potential

  • Galvanic cells convert chemical energy to electrical energy
  • Spontaneous redox reactions generate electricity
  • Anode (-): oxidation, cathode (+): reduction
