==Description==

==Description==

Substance that conducts [[electric]] current as a result of dissociation of its [[molecules]] into positively and negatively charged particles called ions. The most familiar electrolytes are acids, bases, and salts, which ionize when dissolved in polar solvents such as [[water]]. Many salts, including sodium chloride, behave as electrolytes when melted in the [[absence]] of solvent, since they have ionic bonds. The most commonly used electrolytes are dissolved metal salts (for electroplating metals) and acids (in electric batteries). See also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis electrolysis].
