Michael Faraday was a great English physicist and chemist who developed some fundamental ideas of electricity
True
Metals and certain non-metals such as carbon are conductors of electricity in which no movement of particles and chemical action takes place by passing electricity
True
Aqueous solutions of salts, bases, and acids are decomposed by passing an electric current and hence are known as electrolytes

Study Notes
Electrochemistry Introduction
- Michael Faraday, a great English physicist and chemist, developed fundamental ideas of electricity, including the study of conductivity of substances.
Conductors of Electricity
- Conductors of electricity are substances through which electric current passes.
- There are two types of conductors:
- Metals and certain non-metals (e.g., carbon) where no movement of particles and chemical action occurs when electricity passes through them.
- Substances where chemical action takes place with the movement of particles when electricity passes through them, known as electrolytes.
Electrolytes
- Electrolytes are conducting mediums that suffer chemical actions by the movement of particles when an electric current is passed through them.
- Examples of electrolytes include aqueous solutions of salts, bases, and acids that are decomposed by passing an electric current.
