Interpretation:
The reason behind conductance of electricity by molten
Concept Introduction:
An electrolyte refers to an ionic compound that on solvation in polar protic solvents ionizes to yield cationic and anionic species. The free movement of such ionic species results in the conduction of electricity.
Three subcategories exist for electrolyte namely strong electrolyte weak electrolyte and non-electrolyte. The strong electrolytes on dissolution exhibit
In contrast, weak electrolytes are not
The principle of “like dissolves like” holds true and suggests that ionic or polar substances are more soluble in similar polar solvent such as water.
