Formation or separation of ionic species when an electrolyte dissolves, with the equilibrium extent depending on solvent, concentration, and interactions.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Conductivity and colligative anomalies helped motivate the proposal that dissolved electrolytes contain ions before electrolysis, though the early degree-of-dissociation model was later revised for strong electrolytes.
The source experiment, observation, anomaly, or problem materially motivated the development, revision, or acceptance of the target concept. Historical influence is not logical derivation; the edge detail states the documented role and avoids retrospective origin myths.

Brønsted–Lowry donor–acceptor equilibria describe proton-transfer ionization in solution, while non-protolytic electrolyte dissociation requires other descriptions.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
wp-chem-solutionopenstax-chemistry-2eiupac-solubility-dataiupac-gold-bookEach relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Electrolytic dissociation or ionization forms solvated ionic species whose equilibrium populations, mobilities, pairing, and reactions determine electrolyte behavior.
A physical process transforms the source into, or produces, the target under the conditions stated in the edge detail.
