ELECTROLYSIS

Water soluble substances are distinguished as electrolytes or non electrolytes

Electrolytes are electrovalent substance that form ions in solutions in which conduct an electric current

Eg:- NaCl, copper(ll) sulphate,  and potassium nitrate

Non electrolytes on the other hand, are covalent substance which furnish neutral molecule in solution. Their water donot conduct an electric current

Eg: sugar, alcohol, and glycerol

The phenomenon of decomposition of an electrolyte by passing electric current through its solutions is termed as ELECTROLYSIS
