An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water. Electrolytes can be ionic compounds, acids, or bases that dissociate into ions in solution. These ions facilitate the conduction of electricity. Common examples of electrolytes include: 1. **Sodium chloride (NaCl)**: Common table salt, which dissolves in water to produce sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions.
