Question
The passage of electricity through an electrolyte solution is caused by the movement of (a) electrons only, (b) cations only, (c) anions only, (d) both cations and anions.
Step 1
There are two types of ions: cations, which are positively charged, and anions, which are negatively charged. The passage of electricity through the solution is facilitated by the movement of both types of ions, as they are attracted to the oppositely charged Show more…
