Ionic transport number

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-006117

The fraction of the total electric current carried by a particular ionic species in an electrolyte solution. This value indicates the relative contribution of each ion to the overall conductivity. The sum of the transport numbers for all ionic species in a solution is equal to one.
