Electrolyte Formula
The Formula
When to use: Salt dissolved in water breaks into charged particles (ions) that carry electric current.
Quick Example
What This Formula Means
A substance that dissociates into ions in solution, allowing the solution to conduct electricity.
Salt dissolved in water breaks into charged particles (ions) that carry electric current.
