ionic conductivity

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.I03175
Defined for ionic species B by λ=|zB| F uB where zB is the
charge number
of the ionic species B, F is the
Faraday constant
, and uB is the
electric mobility
of species B. In most current practice zB is taken as unity, i.e. ionic conductivity is taken as that of species such as Na+, Ca2+/2, La3+/3 etc. To avoid ambiguity the species considered should be clearly stated, e.g. as λ(Ca2+/2).
