Question

Electrolytes conduct electricity in their aqueous solution or molten state to undergo decomposition into ions.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The conductivity of ionic compounds(Electrolytes):

• An electrolyte is a substance that can conduct an electric current when melted or dissolved in water

• Ionic compounds conduct electricity when their ions are free to move.
• Ions can move in the liquid state (after melting) or in an aqueous solution (after dissolving in water).
• Electrolysis is the decomposition of an electrolyte by an electric current.
• Example: Molten or aqueous form of Sodium chloride$\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)$ conduct electricity.
• (In Solid$\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)$, ions are not free to move and hence do not conduct electricity)

Therefore the given is true.
