Question

Compounds that act as electrolyte in the process of electrolysis should be ionic in nature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

In electrolysis, the chemical reaction takes place due to flow of ions in the electrolyte towards their respective electrodes. Ionic compounds dissociate into ions in their solutions or molten form.
These ions from the ionic compound can complete the circuit aiding in the process of electrolysis. Hence, electrolytes are generally ionic in nature.
