Question

An electrolyte is
(a) a metal
(b) a liquid that conducts current
(c) a non-metal
(d) none of these

Answer 1

An electrolyte is a liquid that conducts current. (Option-B)

• Electrolytes are chemical substances that can conduct electric currents.
• Electrolytes are chiefly composed of ions, which are the excited state of an atom of an element and carry a net electric charge. The charge they carry may be either a positive charge or a negative charge.
• These ions in the electrolyte are the main medium for the conduct of electric current.
• These electrolytes can be of two types: strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes.
• The strong electrolytes can completely dissociate in water but weak electrolytes partially dissociate in the water. The strong electrolytes are better conductors of electricity than the weak electrolytes.
• That's why a liquid that conducts water is the correct explanation for an electrolyte.
