MCQ
In an electrolyte solution, current is maintained by the flow of:
- AElectrons only.
- BNegative ions only.
- CPositive ions only.
- ✓Negative and positive ions both.
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Negative and positive ions both.
A electrolytic solution allows the flow of ions to maintain a balance in charge between the oxidation and reduction vessels while keeping the contents of each separate. With the charge difference balanced, electrons can flow once again, and the reduction and oxidation reactions can proceed.
