CBSE Class 10 Answered
if water is made up of covalent bonds then why does it ionise into h+ and o- when electricity is passed through it

Expert Answer
Dear Student
This is because water is a polar covalent compound. This molecule slightly dissociates disproportionately into the hydronium ion (H3O+(aq)) and an associated hydroxide ion (OH−(aq)).
We hope that clarifies your query.
