Question

The conductance in electrolytic solutions is due to flow of ions which are produced by the decomposition of matter.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

In electrolytic solutions, the electric carriers are not electrons like in metals but the electricity is carried through charged ions which are produced by decomposition.
For example water doesn’t conduct electricity but when we add common salt (NaCl) , it exists in water as $N{a}^{+}$ and $C{l}^{-}$ ions which actually carry the electricity.
