Question
Electrolytes when dissolved in water dissociate into ions because :(a) They are unstable.(b) The water dissolves it.(c) The force of repulsion increases.(d) The force of electrostatic attraction is broken down by water.
Step 1
Electrolytes are substances that produce an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. They are usually ionic compounds, which means they are made up of positive and negative ions. Show more…
