Question

Choose the correct option(s) for electrolytic conductors:

• A. Ions (cations/anions) are the charge carriers.
• B. Dissociation of electrolyte takes place.
• C. $\text{Molten}NaCl$ can act as a electrolytic conductor
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

Electrolytic Conductors :
Substances that conduct electricity, both in fused state and aqueous solution are called electrical conductors or electrolytes.

The substances dissociate in the molten state or aqueous solution to furnish ions.The conduction is due to the presence of these mobile ions. Example :
$\text{Molten}NaCl,\text{aqueous}NaCl$
Characteristics:

1. Ions (cations/anions) are the charge carriers.
2. Dissociation of electrolyte takes place
   $NaCl\left(aq\right)\to N{a}^{+}\left(aq\right)+C{l}^{-}\left(aq\right)$
3. Transfer of mass takes place
