Electrolytes A liquid which conducts electric current due to the drifting of ions is called an electrolyte.Salts like silver nitrate (AgNO3), sodium chloride (NaC1), copper sulphate (CuSO4), etc. when dissolved in water dissociate into ions. Their ionic dissociation can be represented as under The atom or group of atoms having positive charge is called a positive ion. On the other hand,the atom or group of atoms having negative charge is called a negative ion. For example, when NaC1 is dissolved in water, it splits into positive ions (Na+) and negative ions (Cl-). The conduction of current through an electrolyte is due to the drifting of negative and positive ions within the liquid. | |
