Also known as electrolyte solution, electrolytes

An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity through the movement of ions, but not through the movement of electrons. This includes most soluble salts, acids, and bases, dissolved in a polar solvent like water. Upon dissolving, the substance separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly throughout the solvent. Solid-state electrolytes also exist. In medicine and sometimes in chemistry, the term electrolyte refers to the substance that is dissolved.

AI overview

An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water by breaking apart into positively and negatively charged particles called ions. Electrolytes matter because they enable electrical conduction in living organisms and chemical systems, which is why they're important in medicine and many industrial processes.
