What happens when I add an ionic compound to
water (e.g. salt)?
What happens when I add an ionic compound to
water (e.g. salt)?
When an ionic compound is added
to water, the ions are free to move.
This means they can conduct
electricity.
Can ionic compounds

conduct electricity in any
other form?
Yes, they can conduct when they are

molten for the same reason - the ions
are free to move. They can't conduct
when they are solid - the ions cannot
move.
Ionic compounds can conduct electricity

in two forms:
1 - when dissolved in water
2 - when molten
Because the ions are free to move the
elexctroc current
What does it mean?
Electrolysis means 'breaking down using

electricity.'
The compound that is broken down is called the

electrolyte.

Principle: "opposites attract" i.e.,

Each ion will be attracted to the oppositely
charged electrode.
