Ionic bondingRelated: Ionic solids conduct poorly, while molten or dissolved ions can carry current.
Soil salinityRelated: Soil-extract conductivity provides a standard estimate of soluble salt concentration.
Ampullae of LorenziniRelated: Seawater conducts electricity, allowing bioelectric fields to spread toward ampullary pores.
HydroponicsRelated: Growers use it to monitor the overall concentration of dissolved nutrients.
Density of statesRelated: Available electronic states and their distribution help determine which carriers can respond to an electric field.

Metallic bondingRelated: Mobile electrons in metallic bonds carry current through the solid.
Dielectric constantCompared with: Conductivity concerns mobile charge transport, not polarization alone.

Electrical insulatorCompared with: Insulators have low conductivity, the inverse property that describes their resistance to charge flow.
Hydraulic conductivityCompared with: The shared word names a different transport property, governed by charge carriers rather than water flow.
SalinizationRelated: It provides a practical indicator of salinity in soil and irrigation water.
TurbidityCompared with: It tracks dissolved ions rather than the suspended particles that cause turbidity.
Fermi levelRelated: States near the Fermi level commonly control how readily electrons respond to an applied field.
Fermi surfaceRelated: Fermi-surface velocities and scattering determine which electron states carry current.
SilverRelated: Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of any element at room temperature.
