Question

Electrolytes include which of the following types of compounds?

• A. Acids
• B. Bases
• C. Salts
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Electrolytes are of three kinds- acids, bases and salts.
For example $HCl$ is an acidic electrolyte which dissociates into $H^{+}$ and $C{l}^{-}$ ions when dissolved in water.
$NaOH$ is a basic electrolyte which dissociates into $N{a}^{+}$ and $O{H}^{-}$ ions when dissolved in water.
$KCl$ is a salt which gives $K^{+}$ and $C{l}^{-}$ ions when it is dissolved in water.
