Solution

Thermal Dissociation Electrolytic dissociation

The decomposition of a compound into with the supply of heat. The process due to which an ionic compound dissociates into ions with the supply of current.

Electrodes are not present. Electrodes are present and they attract the oppositely charged ions.

Examples:
${C a C O}_{3} \to C a O + {C O}_{2}$ Examples:
$N a C l \to {N a}^{+} + {C l}^{-}$
