Hi.,

Electroless plating is used for plating on substrates
including non-conductor.Thats is based on the reducing
agent (electrons) available from the plating solution.

Electroplationg was used for plating on substrates on
only conductors.here current provides electrons which
acts as reudicng agent. So electroplating is selective
than electroless plating.

Best Wishes.,

Bala.
