Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Ionizes
Concept:

Electrolytes are substances that produce an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water.

Solution:

  • The strength of an electrolyte is strictly defined by the extent to which it dissociates into independent, mobile ions.


  • A strong electrolyte (such as \( NaCl \) or \( HCl \)) breaks apart practically 100% into its constituent cations and anions when placed in water.


  • This process of forming ions is called ionization or dissociation.


Why other options are incorrect:

Decomposition implies the permanent breakdown of chemical bonds into entirely different elemental substances. "Disappears" is non-scientific. Ionization accurately describes the physical separation into charged particles.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
