Question

Define the degree of ionization or dissociation?

Answer 1

Degree of ionization or ionization:

• It is represented by the Greek symbol$\mathrm{\alpha }$.
• The ratio of the number of ions or molecules produced to the total number of molecules is known as the degree of ionization or dissociation.
• In chemistry, it can be defined as a general process in which ionic compounds, such as salts, break into smaller particles such as ions.
• The extent to which the dissociation occurs is known as the degree of dissociation.
