Electrolysis of molten lead bromide is carried out.
The bulb will not light until the lead bromide has melted. Why not?

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrolysis is not possible with solid lead (II) bromide. This is because the ions are held in a three-dimensional lattice, unable to move freely to the electrodes. Melting enables the ions to become mobile and to travel to the respective electrodes.

The bulb won't glow when the electrodes are embedded in solid lead bromide.  The bulb will glow when the material surrounding the electrodes is molten lead bromide. When an ionic compound is in the molten (liquid) form the positive and negative ions are free to move around.

Hopes this Helps :D
