Svante August Arrhenius (1859-1927)

He was a Swedish scientist who worked on the electrical conductivity of aqueous solutions of ionic compounds. He sug gested that ionic compounds when dis solved in water dissociate into their ions which conduct electricity.

He explained the properties of acids and alkalis on the basis of formation of H+ and OH- ions respectively. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1903. @Svante August Arrhenius (1859-1927)
