Question
Compare the temperature dependence of electrical conductivity of a metal with that of a typical metalloid. Explain the difference.
Step 1
Electrical conductivity in metals: In metals, the electrical conductivity is primarily due to the movement of free electrons. As the temperature increases, the atoms in the metal lattice vibrate more, causing increased scattering of the free electrons. This Show more…
