current. *

Respuesta :

The statement is true as all Ionic compounds are called Electrolytes because they  dissociate(break apart) in water to form a solution that conducts electric  current.

Explanation:

An ionic compound also called an electrolyte. Ionic compounds have capability to get dissociate into water to give ions(cation and anion)  which conduct electric current. This process is called conductivity.

Some insoluble compounds that are not dissolved in water still they form ions which conduct electricity.

The cations and anions released are responsible for carrying current.

Strong acids and strong bases are the strong electrolytes as they dissociate to give more ions as NaOH, HCl.

The cations move to the cathode and anions towards the anode. Cation and anion movement in the solution is electric current.
