What is the difference between:

Electrolytic dissociation and thermal dissociation.

Distinguish Between

Solution

  Electrolytic Dissociation Thermal Dissociation
(1) Electrolytic dissociation occurs when an ionic substance splits down into ions in its fused state or aqueous solution. The decomposition of a compound into its elements by heat is called thermal dissociation.
(2) It is a reversible process. It is not a reversible process.
(3) Dissociates into charged particles, i.e., ions. Ions are not formed.
(4) Electrodes help to attract oppositely charged ions. Electrodes are not present.
