Question

A solution having ions or molecules that can conduct electricity is known as an _____________.

• A. electroplating
• B. electrolyte
• C. electrode
• D. electrolysis

Answer 1

The correct option is B electrolyte

• The process of depositing a layer of a desired metal on another material by means of electricity is called electroplating.
• Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances when an electric current is passed through them.
• An electrode is a substance that is a good conductor of electricity, and these are usually dipped into an electrolyte solution during the electroplating process. From the definition, a solution having ions or molecules that can conduct electricity is known as an electrolyte.
