Q5
Assertion :When an electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, sodium ions move towards cathode and chloride ions move towards anode. Reason: Cathode is a negatively charged electrode and therefore attracts NA+ions. Anode is a positively charged electrode and therefore attracts Cl− ions
