Answer:
The
electrical conductivity of a metal decreases with the rise in temperature
because the positively charged kernels resent in the electron sea also acquire
mobility and obstruct the movement of valence electrons responsible for conductivity.
In semi-conductors, the electrical conductivity increases because more
electrons are in a position to move from valence band to the conduction band
since there is only a small energy gap.
