Hey frnd here is ur ans
first understand what is synapse??
Synapse is the point of contact between the terminal branches of the axon of a neuron with the dendrites of another neuron seperated by fine gap.
Here, electrical impulses jumps into the next neuron. Electrical impulses travel through synapse by a chemical process. As the impulse reaches the terminal end of an axon, a chemical ACETYLCHOLINE is released. This chemical sets a new impulse in dendrites of the adjacent(next) neuron. The chemical is soon broken down by an enzyme to make the synapse ready for next transmisson
Hope this helps u

In electrical synapses, the membranes of pre- and post-synaptic neurons are in proximity so the electrical current flows directly from one neuron into the other. Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is similar to impulse conduction along a single axon and transmission is always faster than that of chemical synapses.
