The electroconductivity of partially ionized cesium and sodium plasmas is calculated within the frame of the Chapman‐Enskog method. The composition of the plasma and the transport cross section for electron‐electron and electron‐ion scattering were evaluated in previous papers (Redmer et al. [1], Sigeneger et al. [2]). This paper is mainly devoted to the influence of neutrals on the electroconductivity. Therefore, the total and transport cross section for electron‐atom scattering are determined numerically. The results for the cross sections and the conductivity are compared with experiments and other theoretical approaches.
