Question

What is the difference between:

Electrolytic dissociation and thermal dissociation.

Answer 1

	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.
