← ScienceWhich 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.
