Question

An electrolyte
A. has positive charge
B. has negative charge
C. should be able to conduct charge while dissociating
D. should able to form positive and negative ions

Answer 1

Hint: Electrolytic cell also known by the name electrochemical cell which is defined as an electrochemical device which uses electrical energy to facilitate a non-spontaneous redox reaction. The main three primary components of electrolytic cells are: Anode, Cathode and Electrolyte.

Complete answer:
An electrolyte is defined as a substance that dissociates in water into charged particles called ions. Positively charged ions are called cations while negatively charged ions are known by the name anions. In simple terms we can say that an electrolyte is a substance that can conduct an electric current when melted or dissolved in water.
Electrolysis is defined as the process of passing an electric current through a substance in its molten or aqueous state while decomposing it. This can be understood by the example glucose and urea which do not dissociate in water because they have no electric charge. Therefore these types of substances are called nonelectrolytes. Electrolyte is a compound which conducts electricity in the molten state or when dissolved in water. The main example of electrolyte is sodium and potassium which will form positive and negative ions.

Hence option D is the correct answer.

Note:
Electrode is a substance which helps in the conduction of electricity in which the electric current enters or leaves the non-metallic medium as in electrolytic cells. Electrodes generally consist of anode and cathode which basically describe the direction of flow of current.
