Solution

Difference between electrolytic dissociation and ionization:

Ionization Dissociation
1) Formation of positively or negatively charged ions from molecules which are not initially in the ionic state. 1) Separation of ions which are already present in an ionic compound.
2) Covalent compounds show ionization.
3) e.g.. $H C l, H_{2} C O_{3}, N H_{4} O H$ etc. 2) Electrovalent compounds show dissociation
3) e.g. Potassium chloride, lead bromide, etc.
