Question

The conductivity of a solution is how much electricity it can conduct. Under what circumstances can a solution conduct electricity? (1 point) Responses When there are anions that do not give up their extra electrons to the electrode. When there are anions that do not give up their extra electrons to the electrode. When cations move towards the positive electrode and anions move towards the negative electrode. When cations move towards the positive electrode and anions move towards the negative electrode. When there are cations and anions that can cause electrons to flow through the electrode. When there are cations and anions that can cause electrons to flow through the electrode. When there are cations with extra electrons that can flow through the electrode. When there are cations with extra electrons that can flow through the electrode.

Answer 1

The correct response is: When cations move towards the positive electrode and anions move towards the negative electrode.

In a solution, when ionic compounds dissociate into cations and anions, these charged particles can move freely. The movement of cations towards the negative electrode (cathode) and anions towards the positive electrode (anode) is what allows the solution to conduct electricity.
