Describe the Arrhenius theory of electrolytic dissociation

 Arrhenius Theory of Electrolytic Dissociation:

  • The Arrhenius theory of electrolytic dissociation was proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1887. 
  • It states that when an electrolyte is dissolved in water, it dissociates into positively charged ions (called cations) and negatively charged ions (called anions). 
  • This dissociation allows the electrolyte to conduct electricity.
