The number of electrons involved in the reaction when one faraday of electricity is passed through an electrolyte is

A

only cations migrate

B

only anions migrate

C

both cations and anions migrate

D

only the solvent molecules migrate.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
