Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrolytes are substances that dissolve in water to form ions, which can conduct electricity. These ions consist of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions). Therefore, option B is the correct statement. Options A and C are incorrect because electrolytes can dissolve in other polar solvents as well, not just water. Option D is incorrect since option B is true.
