In an electrolyte solution, there is the flow of________.Select an answerAelectrons onlyBnegative ions onlyCpositive ions onlyDnegative and positive ions both

Break Down the Problem

1. Identify what flows in an electrolyte solution.
2. Understand the components of an electrolyte solution.

Relevant Concepts

• An electrolyte solution contains ions that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water. This includes both positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions).

Analysis and Detail

• In an electrolyte solution, electrolyte substances dissociate into cations and anions. The movement of these charged particles facilitates the flow of electric current.
• Electrons are not transported through the solution itself; they flow through conductive materials (like wires) connected to the solution.

Verify and Summarize

In an electrolyte solution, both negative ions (anions) and positive ions (cations) are present and are responsible for the flow of electric current.

Final Answer

D) negative and positive ions both
