1. A substance which conducts electricity (ion, e) in only molten form is called electrolyte.
A substance which has ability to conduct electric current either in molten or in solid state is called a conductor.
Every electrolyte is a conductor but not every conductor is an electrolyte.
2. Faraday's first law of electrolysis States that '' Mass of a substance liberated or deposited during Electrolysis is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the solution ''.
3. An electrochemical cell is a device capable of either generating electrical energy from chemical reactions or using electrical energy to cause chemical reactions.
4. In electrochemical cell ( Salt is required. Cathode is the positive electrode. Anode is the negative electrode. Two electrolytes are required. Electrodes are in separate compartments) In Electrolytic cell ( Salt bridge is not required. Cathode is the negative electrode. Anode is the positive electrode. Only one electrolyte is required. Electrodes are in the same compartment)
1. Distinguish between a conductor and electrolyte.
2. State Faraday's first law of electrolysis
3. What is an electrochemical cell
4. State five differences between an electrochemical cell and electrolytic cell.

It isn't clear what we are to do to help you. It appears you have looked up the definitions. I agree with what you have written except for #1.For example, if I dissolve any ionic salt in water to form a solution that will pass an electric current and that is an electrolyte.
ok
