If I dissolve an acid to water it gives me h ions eg. NaCl give Na+cl- ions my teacher said NaCl breaks into h and cl ions what does it mean this compound breaks into na and cl ions how they exist they are already in ionic compound so what does it mean

Q. What are the electronic configuration of

N a^{+}

and

C l^{-}

ions?

During the electrolysis of fused NaCl, the reaction at anode is:

The correct option is A Cl− ions are oxidisedDuring the electrolysis of fused NaCl, chloride ions migrate towards the anode:Cl−(aq)→12Cl2(g)+e− (oxidation)and at cathode: Na+(aq)+e−→Na(s) (reduction)

During the electrolysis of fused $N a C l$ , the reaction at anode is:

The correct option is A $C l^{-}$ ions are oxidised
During the electrolysis of fused NaCl, chloride ions migrate towards the anode:
${C l}^{-} (a q) \to \frac{1}{2} {C l}_{2} (g) + e^{-}$ (oxidation)
and at cathode: $N a^{+} (a q) + e^{-} \to N a (s)$ (reduction)
