How to choose between ceramic and electrolytic capacitors


I was designing a circuit, I found a lot of datasheets that don't specify if the capacitor should be ceramic or electrolytic. So I started to wonder if the value of the capacitance would tell me the kind that should be used.


Is it true that when the capacitance is of nF or pF order, ceramic capacitors should be used and when the order is of uF, electrolytic ones should be used?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
