What happens to ionic compounds in water to form electrolyte solutions?
gpt
When an ionic compound dissolves in water, the water molecules surround the anion and the cation in a process called solvation, and the dissolved compound forms a strong electrolyte solution.
Explanation: In solvation, the water molecules stabilize the anion and cation, causing the compound to dissociate and increase the solution's ability to conduct electricity.
