li⁺
cl⁻
li
cl
3 true or false 1 point
all covalent compounds will partially dissociate.
true
false

Explanation:

Question 1

Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions (cations and anions) in solution. So electrolytes can be cations or anions as part of their dissociated form.

When \( \text{LiCl} \) dissolves in water, it dissociates into \( \text{Li}^+ \) (cation) and \( \text{Cl}^- \) (anion). \( \text{Cl}^- \) is an anion, \( \text{Li} \) is neutral atom, \( \text{Cl} \) is neutral atom. So the cation is \( \text{Li}^+ \).

Covalent compounds, especially non - polar ones, do not dissociate in solution. Even polar covalent compounds like sugar (a covalent compound) do not dissociate. Only some polar covalent compounds (like weak acids) partially dissociate, not all covalent compounds.

Answer:

True
