प्रश्न
Potassium chloride is an electrovalent compound, while hydrogen chloride is a covalent compound, But, both conduct electricity in their aqueous solutions. Explain.
उत्तर
Potassium chloride is an electrovalent compound and conducts electricity in the molten or aqueous state because the electrostatic forces of attraction weaken in the fused state or in aqueous solution.
Polar covalent compounds like hydrogen chloride ionise in their solutions and can act as an electrolyte. So, both can conduct electricity in their aqueous solutions.
