The correct Answer is:
To fill in the blanks in the given statement, we can analyze each part of the statement step by step. 1. **Understanding the neutrality of the electrolytic solution:** - The electrolytic solution is always neutral because the total charge on **(i)** cations is equal to **(ii)** the total charge on **(iii)** anions. - This means that the positive charges from the cations balance out the negative charges from the anions, maintaining overall neutrality. 2. **Current conduction in electrolytes:** - Unlike metallic conductors, the electrolyte conducts electric current by virtue of the movement of its **(iv)** ions. - In electrolytes, it is the movement of charged particles (ions) that allows the conduction of electricity, as opposed to the flow of electrons in metallic conductors. 3. **Understanding the property of metals in solution:** - The property due to which a metal tends to go into solution in terms of positive ions is known as **(v)** oxidation. - Oxidation refers to the process where a metal loses electrons to form positive ions, which is essential in electrochemical reactions. Now, we can summarize the filled-in blanks: The electrolytic solution is always neutral because the total charge on **(i) cations** is equal to **(ii) the total charge** on **(iii) anions**. Unlike the metallic conductor, the electrolyte conducts the electric current by virtue of the movement of its **(iv) ions**. The property due to which a metal tends to go into solution in terms of positive ions is known as **(v) oxidation**. ### Final Answers: (i) cations (ii) the total charge (iii) anions (iv) ions (v) oxidation
