Card 1 of 24

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.
