Water has high dielectric constant and it breaks the electrostatic forces of attraction between ions.

Q. Electrolytes when dissolved in water dissociate into ions because

they are unstable

the water dissolves it

the forces of repulsion increase

the forces of electrostatic attraction are broken down by water

Water has high dielectric constant and it breaks the electrostatic forces of attraction between ions.
