Question
How is electrolytic dissociation different from thermal dissociation?
✓

Answer

Electrolytic Dissociation is the dissociation of an electrovalent compound into ions in the fused state or in aqueous solution state.
Reversible breakdown of a chemical compound into simpler substances by heating it. The splitting of ammonium chloride into ammonia and hydrogen chloride is an example. On cooling, they recombine to form the salt.
