Question

38

Both ionization and dissociation produce ions of the solute in solution.
How do the two processes differ? Write two differences. *​

Answer 1

Detail is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

Differences:

Ionization involves the formation of ions while in dissociation substance are break into atoms, ions or molecules.

In ionization atoms and molecules gain positive or negative charge.

While in dissociation positive and negative ions are not essentially formed substance could be break into neutral small particles.

Ionization occur in covalent compounds while dissociation occur in ionic compound.

Ionization example:

Cl + e⁻ → Cl⁻

Dissociation example:

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

Here sodium and chloride ions are formed but in sodium chloride these ions were already present.

Another example:

N₂O₄ → 2NO₂
