The present article deals with methods and results of conductance studies with special reference to nonaqueous solvents, e.g. ethanol, dioxane, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, nitromethane, and acetone, in some cases mixed with water, as well as NH 3 , SO 2 , I 2 , etc. On the basis of a model in which the ions are represented as charged spheres and the solvent as a homogeneous isotropic medium, the conductance theory can (at least for low electrolyte concentrations) give a more or less complete representation of the problem. A new statistical treatment of the transport problem confirms important results of this representation. The present state of the investigation is finally outlined in a review of recent publications.
