Question

Properties of electrolyte are:

• A. Forms complex ions in solution
• B. Gives ions only when electricity is passed
• C. Possesses ions even in solid state
• D. Gives ions only when dissolved in water

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A

Forms complex ions in solution

C

Possesses ions even in solid state

D

Gives ions only when dissolved in water

Properties of electrolyte are:
It conducts electric current as a result of its dissociation into ions.
It generally ionizes when it is dissolved in a solvent. Many salts, such as sodium chloride, behave as electrolytes when melted in the absence of any solvent.
Silver iodide (salt) exists as electrolytes even in the solid state.
