Solution

The correct option is B False
When electricity is passed through the aqueous solution of an ionic compound, the ionic compound dissociates into its constituent ions.

During this process, the positively charged ions (cations) move towards the negatively charged electrode (cathode) while the negatively charged ions (anions) move towards the positively charged electrode (anode).
