Answer and Explanation:

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCY ON ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF METALS : Metals are good conductors of electricity but when we increase the temperature the free electrons of metals collide with each other due to heat.There collision become very fast and so the resistance increases and so the electrical conductivity of metals decreases on increasing temperature.

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCY ON ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF SEMICONDUCTOR : The electrical conductivity of semiconductor is mainly sue to presence of impurities and defects as the temperature increases the impurities and defects also increases so the electrical conductivity of semiconductor increases on increasing temperature.
