Question

What is an Ionization Equation?

Answer 1

1. Ionization is the process where the molecules of an electrolyte in an aqueous solution undergo spontaneously dissociation to form positive and negative ions.
2. The electrically charged atoms and molecules are known as ions.
3. The extent of ionization of an electrolyte may change by changing the solvent.
4. For example, when Sodium Chloride is dissolved in water they get splits into positive and negative ions.

$\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\stackrel{H_{2}O}{\rightleftharpoons }{\mathrm{Na}}^{+}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)$
