Define electrolysis

Back (Answer)

• Decomposition of a chemical compound • Aqeous or Fused State • Passage of direct electric current • Results in discharge of ions as neutral atoms in respective electrodes.

Electrolytes are always _____. But its examples are not always this.

Back (Answer)

Ionic Compounds Idiotic

Front (Question)

Define Electrolytes:

Back (Answer)

Chemical compounds which conduct electricity in fused or aq state, due to the flow of current through it.

Front (Question)

Define non-electrolytes:

Back (Answer)

Chemical compounds which do not conduct electricity in the fused or aq state. Do ont undergo chemical decomposition.
