Difference between metallic and electrolytic conduction

Difference between Metallic conduction and Electrolytic conduction

Metallic conductions .
                                        1- current passes by movement of free electrons.

Electrolytic conductions .
                                                1- current passes by the movement of free ions.

Metallic conditions .
                                      2- No transfer of matter takes place .

Electrolytic conductions .
                                                 2- Transfer of matter takes place in from of ions.

Metallic conductions .
                                          3- No charge in chemical properties take place .

Electrolytic conductions .
                                                 3- change in chemical properties takes place due to decomposition of electrolyte.

Metallic conductions .
                                          4- Resistance increases or conductance decreases due to increase in temperature . It is because due to increase of temperature thermal motion of metal ions increase which results in hindrance of flow of electrons .

Electrolytic conductions .
                                                 4-  Resistance decrease or conductance increases due increase in temperature . It is because due to increase in temperature , the viscosity of the medium and degree of hydration of ions increase which increases the movement of ions.
