Question 3(b)What is the difference between Electrolytic dissociation and ionisation

Question

Accepted Answer

Electrolytic dissociationIonisationSeparation of ions which are already present in an ionic compoundFormation of positively or negatively charged ions from molecules which are not initially in the ionic state.Electrovalent compounds show dissociation e.g., potassium chloride, lead bromide, etc.Polar covalent compounds show ionisation e.g., HCl, NH4OH etc.,KCl ⟶ K+ + Cl-HCl→H2OH++Cl−	ext{HCl} \xrightarrow{	ext{H}_2	ext{O}} 	ext{H}^{+} + 	ext{Cl}^{-}HClH2​O​H++Cl−

Separation of ions which are already present in an ionic compound	Formation of positively or negatively charged ions from molecules which are not initially in the ionic state.
Electrovalent compounds show dissociation e.g., potassium chloride, lead bromide, etc.	Polar covalent compounds show ionisation e.g., HCl, NH₄OH etc.,
