Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) (i)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When sodium chloride is in solid state, it doesn't have free electrons due to the ionic/electrovalent bond between sodium and chorine but when \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) dissolves in water, the bond is broken and sodium and chlorine separate forming ions like \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\)and…
