Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ionic liquids are made up of positive and negative ions, so when a current flows through them, both positive and negative ions move. Therefore, both choices D and E could be correct, but E is more accurate as it includes both types of ions. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they only describe one type of charge that could be moving.
