The current in electrolysis is carried through:
Correct answer: D. Both Options B and C are correct
- A. Free electrons
- B. Positive ions
- C. Negative ions
- D. Both Options B and C are correct
Explanation
In electrolysis, current is carried through the electrolytic solution inside the cell by positive and negative ions using oxidation-reduction reactions. The liquid will continue to conduct electricity only as long as oxidation-reduction reactions occurring at the electrodes continue.

About Redox Reactions
Redox reactions involve oxidation and reduction occurring together, with electrons transferred between species or oxidation numbers changing. The topic covers assigning oxidation states, identifying oxidizing and reducing agents, balancing redox equations by oxidation number or half-reaction methods, and connecting chemical changes with galvanic and electrolytic cells.
