What makes a molten or dissolved ionic compound an electrolyte?
A
Its ions are free to move and carry charge.
B
Oxidation Is Loss; Reduction Is Gain of electrons.
C
For copper electrodes in copper sulfate solution, the cathode reaction is Cu2+(aq)+2e−→Cu(s)\boxed{\text{Cu}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{e}^{-} \rightarrow \text{Cu}(s)}Cu2+(aq)+2e−→Cu(s).
D
Its ions are held in fixed lattice positions and cannot move.
