Question

What happens to an ionic compound when it is dissolved in water?

A Liquid crystals are formed.
B The ions separate and conduct electricity.
C The ions combine and conduct electricity.
D The electrons are combined with the water molecules.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B, the ions separate and conduct electricity. Whenever ions dissolve in water, the ions separate. This separation of charge allows charge to flow in the solution; hence, it can conduct electricity.

Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Answer 2

The accurate answer is
"B The ions separate and conduct electricity."

This process is called Dissociation.
