Question

select the single best answer. the passage of electricity through an electrolyte solution is caused by the movement of: electrons only both cations and anions anions only cations only

Explanation:

In an electrolyte solution, when electricity passes through, cations (positively - charged ions) move towards the negative electrode (cathode) and anions (negatively - charged ions) move towards the positive electrode (anode). Electrons do not move through the electrolyte solution in the same way as in a metal wire. The movement of both types of ions (cations and anions) is responsible for the conduction of electricity in the electrolyte solution.

Answer:

both cations and anions
