ionic solutions

Ionic solutions are liquids that contain dissolved ions—charged particles such as sodium, chloride, or calcium—that come from dissolving compounds called salts, acids, or bases. When these substances dissolve in a solvent like water, they separate into their individual ions, creating a mixture where the ions are evenly spread out. This process allows the solution to conduct electricity because the free-moving ions carry electric charge. Ionic solutions are common in nature and everyday life, including bodily fluids, cleaning products, and industrial processes, playing crucial roles in biological functions and chemical reactions.
