Which of the following best explains why electrolyte solutions conduct electricity?a. the presence of free-flowing electronsb. the presence of free-flowing ionsc. the presence of waterd. the presence of atoms

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

Electrolyte is a substance which  on dissolving in water breaks down into ions in water and thus they able to conduct electric current through them.Compounds in solid form does not conduct electricity due to the absence of free ions.

For example: NaCl solution, KOH solution etc.

Where as free flowing electrons are present in metals account for their property electrical conductivity.
