Substances that give ions when dissolved in water are called electrolytes. They can be divided into acids, bases, and salts because they all give ions when dissolved in water. These solutions conduct electricity due to the mobility of the positive and negative ions, which are called cations and anions respectively.
Electrolytes are composed of free-moving Charged Particles, i.e. ions. When a PD is applied across the electrolytes, the +ve ions move towards the -ve terminal and gain electrons to become neutral atoms, the opposite happens with the -ve atoms. Electrolytes lose their conductivity over time since they liberate some of the constituents of the electrolyte as gases or metals that settle at the bottom.
Answer:
The answer is compound because they consist of multiple things.
NH₃(aq) + HNO₃(aq) = NH₄NO₃(aq)
Ammonia is a weak base. The reaction of ammonia and nitric acid is a neutralization reaction.
NH₃ + H₂O = NH₄⁺ + OH⁻
HNO₃ + H₂O = H₃O⁺ + NO₃⁻
OH⁻ + H₃O⁺ = 2H₂O (neutralization)
Answer:
Covalent bonds
Explanation:
A water molecule consists of two atoms of hydrogen linked by covalent bonds to the same atom of oxygen. Atoms of oxygen are electronegative and attract the shared electrons in their covalent bonds.
