Question

How does water conduct electricity? Class 10

Answer 1

Explanation:

Any impurities, like salts, in the water enable it to conduct electricity. When salts are dissolved in water, they separate into different electrically charged atoms called ions. Salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl), breaks up into positive Na ions and negative Cl ions

Answer 2

Answer:

When salts are dissolved in water, they separate into different electrically charged atoms called ions. Salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl), breaks up into positive Na ions and negative Cl ions.

Explanation:

ionic compounds conduct electricity in water because they separate into charged ions, which are then attracted to the oppositely charged electrode.
