conduction of electricity in electrolytes is due to presence of positive ions and negative ions or presence of positive ions, negative ions and electrons?
Conduction of electricity in electrolytes refers to the movement of electrically charged particles, known as ions, through a solution of an electrolyte. This movement of ions allows for the flow of electrical current through the solution.
Electrolytes are substances that can conduct electricity when in a solution. They are typically made up of ions, such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, which can carry an electrical charge.
The conduction of electricity in electrolytes differs from conduction in metals in that electrolytes require the presence of ions in a solution to carry the electrical charge, while metals have free-moving electrons that can carry the charge throughout the material.
The conduction of electricity in electrolytes can be affected by a variety of factors, including the concentration of ions in the solution, the type of electrolyte used, and the temperature of the solution.
Conduction of electricity in electrolytes has many practical applications, such as in batteries, fuel cells, and various industrial processes. It is also essential for the functioning of the human body, as electrolytes help regulate nerve and muscle function.
