### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Conduction of Electricity in Liquids**: - The conduction of electricity in liquids primarily occurs due to the movement of charged particles known as ions. When an electric current passes through a liquid, certain substances in the liquid dissociate into ions. 2. **Ion Formation**: - In many liquids, especially those that are solutions of acids, bases, or salts, the molecules break apart into positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions). This process is known as dissociation. ...
