Which outcome occurs when a high-voltage electric field is applied to molten ionic compound?

A)Electrolysis and element separation
B)Superconductivity due to ion mobility
C)Ionic bond strengthening and solidification
D)Molecular orbital formation increase

💡 Explanation

When high voltage is applied, electrolysis occurs because electric fields overcome the ionic bonds, causing ions to migrate to electrodes: cations to cathode (reduction) and anions to anode (oxidation), which results in neutral elements separating. Therefore electrolysis results, rather than superconductivity, increased solidification or strengthening, which need different conditions.
