MCQ
Electrolytes when dissolved in water dissociates into ions because
  • A
    They are unstable
  • B
    The water dissolves it
  • C
    The force of repulsion increases
  • The forces of electrostatic attraction are broken down by water

Answer

Correct option: D.
The forces of electrostatic attraction are broken down by water
d
Electrolytes when dissolved in water dissociates completely or partially to form ions. Example $NaCl$ when dissolved in water dissociates to $Na ^{+}$ and $Cl ^{-}$ ions. Thus $NaCl$ is a good electrolyte.

Electrolytes when dissolved in water can conduct electricity. Because positive and negative ions are present in the solution because of the dissociation of the electrolytes in the solution.
