Arrhenius: electrolytic dissociation in solution

Contribution grade

Physical chemistry · mechanistic chemical theory

Reference score240,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Electrolytic solutions acquired a reusable microscopic explanatory model rather than a current-created decomposition picture.

Scientific scope

The 1887 dissociation theory; later climate calculations and acid-base generalizations are excluded.

Evidence

The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. This is the 1887 dissociation theory, distinct from Arrhenius’s later climate calculation and from subsequent acid–base generalizations.
