Question

distinguish between conduction and induction

Answer 1

We know that as we proceed down the group, the lower oxidation state becomes more stable due to inert pair effect. Thus, for bismuth, the +3 oxidation state would be more stable than the +5 oxidation state. As a result, Bi will show show a strong tendency to change into the +3 state from the +5 state. So as the stability of +5 oxidation state is less than that of +3, therefore Bi+5 is a strong oxidising agent...........The term induction is known as orientation in common usage. According to dictionaries, orientation is defined as the adjustment or alignment of oneself or one’s ideas to surroundings or circumstances. Obviously, two parties should participate in an orientation process. Similarly, in an induction process, one have to adjust its qualities according to the other.

In Physics, induction is split into electrostatic induction and electromagnetic induction. Electrostatic induction is the reformation of electrostatic charges of an object at the presence of external charges. Consider a neutral metallic sphere. If a charged rod is brought close to the sphere, neutral atoms will ionize and split into two parts. Then the like charges will repel each other and make the following charge geometry. No contact between the rod and the sphere is needed for this process. This splitting is purely a result of the electrostatic induction. The credit goes to Michael Faraday for discovering the electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction occurs due to time-varying magnetic fields. An electromotive force can be generated across a conductor by varying the magnetic field around it. No contact is needed for this process. That electromotive force is solely generated by the electromagnetic induction.

Answer 2

In contrast to induction, where the charged object is brought near but never contacted to the object being charged, conduction charging involves making the physical connection of the charged object to the neutral object
