Abstract:
Field effect electronic and ionic conductivities come from the electronic and ionic resonances and polarizations in an electrolyte. An external atmosphere field causes field enhanced electronic conductivity and field depressed ionic conductivity. The higher molar formation Gibbs energy of the pi side than that of the ni side in a pin electrolyte heterostructure results in field enhanced electronic conductivity and field depressed ionic conductivity on the pi side as well as field depressed electronic conductivity and field enhanced ionic conductivity on the ni side. An impedance spectrum arises from polarizations at high temperature but from both polarizations and resonances at low temperature. The electrochemical model demonstrates the origins of field effect conductivities in an electrolyte under equilibrium.

Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
Theory of Metallic Conduction
In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
An electron moves through the crystal, containing positive ions,...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
