Compare and contrast the movement of electric charge in a solution with the transfer of electric charge between solid objects.

In a solution, the movement of electric charge is given by the movement of ions (positive or negative), which are the result of dissociation of molecules of the solution.
In solid objects, instead, the movement of electric charge is given by the movement of valence electrons or by holes, created when a valence electron leaves a vacancy in the outer shell of an atom.
