Question

In electrolytic conductors,
are free to move through the solution.
a) electrons
b) positive ions
c) negative ions
d) both positive and negative ions​

Answer 1

Explanation:

positive and negative ions

Answer 2

In electrolytic conductors, both positive and negative ions are free to move through the solution. (Option D)

• Electricity is transferred via an electrolyte owing to a charge transfer of positively charged ions (cations) moving away from the anode and toward the cathode, while negatively charged ions (anions) move away from the cathode and toward the anode.
• The current runs in the opposite direction of the movement of negative ions and the direction of the movement of positive ions.
• As a result, the current owing to positive ions flows from left to right, and the current due to negative ions flows from left to right as well. Thus, there is a net current flowing from left to right.
