The cations and anions that result when a salt dissolves are called ELECTROLYTES. An electrolyte usually ionizes to cations and anions when dissolved in water and in this form it can conduct electricity. Solutions containing salts and molten salts are called electrolytes because they have the ability to conduct electricity.

The cations and anions that result when a salt dissolves are called electrolyte.

<h2>Further Explanation;</h2><h3>Ions</h3>
  • Ions are stable atoms that are formed when a neutral atom gains or loses electrons to attain an octet configuration.
  • Ions may be classified as cations and anions
<h3>Cations</h3>
  • Cations are positively charged ions that are formed when atom of an element loses electrons to attain a stable configuration.
  • For example, Sodium atom, Na, has a configuration of 2. 8. 1 therefore according to octet rule it requires to lose one electron to attain stability forming a positively charged ion of sodium, Na+
<h3>Anions </h3>
  • Anions on the other hand are ions that are negatively charged. They are formed as a result of gain of electrons by non-metal atoms so as to attain stability.
  • For instance; Oxygen atom, O, has an electronic configuration of, 2. 6, therefore according to octet rule it requires to gain two electrons to form a negatively charged ion of oxygen, O^2-.
<h3>Electrolyte</h3>
  • Electrolytes are substances that are decomposed by passing an electric current through them. These substances are either in aqueous form or in molten form.
  • Electrolytes conduct electricity by use of mobile ions, that is both cations and anions.
  • Electrolysis is the process of decomposing an electrolyte by passing an electric current through it.

How many total atoms are in 0.690 g of P2O5?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
M P₂O₅ = 31g×2 + 16g×5 = 142g/mol

1 mole of P₂O₅ contains 5 moles of atoms
5 moles of atoms = 30,01×10²³ a.

142g ----------- 30,01×10²³ a.
0,69g ---------- X
X = (0,69×30,01×10²³)/142
X = 0,14626×10²³ = 1,4626×10²² atoms
