Which of the following units is correctly matched?

Which of the following units is correctly matched?

  • A. SI units of conductivity is \( S m^{-1} \)
  • B. \( S I \) units of molar conductivity is \( S \mathrm{cm}^{2} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \)
  • C. \( S I \) unit of conductance is \( S^{-1} \)
  • D. All of these

Step-by-step solution

Conductivity SI unit is siemens per meter (S/m) as it is the reciprocal of resistivity (Ω·m). Option B uses cm which is not SI; option C incorrectly defines conductance as S^{-1} whereas it is S. Hence only A is correct.
