← ScienceWhich consequence results when high current passes through molten ionic compounds?
A)Electrode reactions cause element separation✓
B)Resistive heating decreases ion mobility
C)Electrolytic reactions inhibit conduction
D)Dielectric breakdown causes spontaneous polarization
💡 Explanation
Electrode reactions yield element separation, as high current provides sufficient energy for electrolysis; the cations migrate to the cathode and anions to the anode for reduction/oxidation reactions because the electrical potential overcomes the electrostatic attraction, therefore the compound splits rather than conduction alone.
