Solution

(a) Most liquids that conduct electricity are solutions of __acids__, __bases__ and __salts__.

(The solutions of acids, bases or salts are conducting in nature. They allow the current to pass through.)

(b) The passage of an electric current through a solution causes __chemical__ effects.

(When an electric current passes through a solution, the solution decomposes into its positive and negative ions. This process of decomposition of the solution is a chemical effect.)

(c) If you pass current through copper sulphate solution, copper gets deposited on the plate connected to the __negative__ terminal of the battery.

(When an electric current passes through a copper sulphate solution, the solution decomposes into positively charged copper ions and negatively charged sulphate ions. These positively charged copper ions get attracted towards the plate which is connected to the negative terminal of a battery.)

(d) The process of depositing a layer of any desired metal on another material by means of electricity is called __electroplating__.
