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.
