**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Conductivity**: First, we need to understand what it means for a substance to conduct electricity. Conductivity refers to the ability of a material to allow the flow of electric current through it. 2. **Properties of Copper**: Copper is a metal known for its excellent electrical conductivity. This means that when copper is in solid form, it can conduct electricity very well due to the presence of free-moving electrons. 3. **Definition of Electrolyte**: An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions when dissolved in a solvent (usually water) or when melted. These ions are charged particles that can move freely and carry electric current. ...
