Question

A. They move to the cathode - correct acid-base focus for electrolyte
B. Wrong acid-base focus: confuses electrolyte with a nearby Unit 4.4 chemical change idea
C. Wrong particle check: uses the wrong ion, electrode, acid-base term, or product for The process of electrolysis
D. Wrong reaction link: does not support Describe an electrolyte as a liquid that contains free-moving ions

Answer

The correct option is They move to the cathode - correct acid-base focus for electrolyte.

Explanation

The correct option is "They move to the cathode - correct acid-base focus for electrolyte" because it supports the approved learning objective: Describe an electrolyte as a liquid that contains free-moving ions. The other options are incorrect or weaker because they are vague, use the wrong Chemistry context, or do not clearly explain the answer for The process of electrolysis.

Common mistake

Misunderstanding Electrolytes

Students often think that any liquid can act as an electrolyte, not realizing that it must contain free-moving ions.

Emphasize that an electrolyte specifically refers to a liquid that contains ions, which are necessary for conducting electricity.
