Question

Explain
i) Electrolyte
ii) Electrolysis​

Answer 1

Answer:

i) electrolyte is a chemical compound which in the molten or solution state , can conduct an electric current and undergo chemical decomposition due to flow of current.

ii) electrolysis is a the process of decomposition of a chemical compound is called electrolysis

Answer 2

Answer:

An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. The dissolved electrolyte separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly through the solvent.

Electrolysis is defined as a process of decomposing ionic compounds into their elements by passing a direct electric current through the compound in a fluid form. The cations are reduced at cathode and anions are oxidized at the anode.
