ELECTROCHEMISTRY
[attachment=54582]
Introduction
Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry, which deals with the chemical applications of electricity. Electrochemistry deals with the chemical reactions produced by passing electric current through an electrolyte or the production of electric current through chemical reactions.
Conductors
A substance or material that allows electric current to pass through it is called a conductor. The ability of a material to conduct electric current is called conductance.
All metals, graphite, fused salts, aqueous
solutions of acids, bases, etc.,
Non-Conductors (or) Insulators
Materials which do not conduct electric current are called non-conductors or insulators.
Plastics, wood, most of the non metals, etc.,
Types of Conductors
The conductors are broadly classified into two types as follows.
