Electrolytes have the ability to pass electricity because they posses
Correct answer: C. Charged ions
- A. Free electrons
- B. Fused electrolyte
- C. Charged ions
- D. None
Explanation
Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water or molten form. This conductivity is due to the presence of charged particles, specifically ions. When an electrolyte dissolves, it breaks into ions (positively charged cations and negatively charged anions). These ions are free to move and carry an electric current.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
