Question

How do liquid conduct electricity​

Answer 1

Liquids conduct electricity by the conduction of ions.

• An electrolyte can be referred to as a liquid or solution which conducts electricity.

• A conducting liquid contains both positive as well as negative ions.

• The positive and negative ions only occur in a solution and not in solids.

• The flow of these ions is the basic reason that liquids or electrolytes have the ability to conduct electricity.

• Examples of electrolytes are solutions of acids or bases.
