MCQ
Electrolyte can conduct electricity because
  • A
    Their molecules contain unpaired electrons, which are mobile
  • B
    Their molecules contain loosely held electrons which get free under the influence of voltage
  • C
    The molecules break up into ions when a voltage is applied
  • The molecules are broken up into ions when the electrolyte is fused or is dissolved in the solvent

Answer

Correct option: D.
The molecules are broken up into ions when the electrolyte is fused or is dissolved in the solvent
d
The electrolyte can conduct electricity because the molecules are broken up into ions. When the electrolyte is fused or is dissolved in the solvent, these broken up molecules allow conduction of electricity in the solution.
