It has been observed that gaseous hydrogen chloride is a very poor conductor of electricity,but a solution of hydrogen chloride gas in water is a good conductor of electricity. This is due to the fact that:

  • A
    Water is a good conductor of electricity
  • B
    Hydrogen chloride gas in water solution ionizes
  • C
    $A$ gas is a non-conductor but a liquid conducts electricity
  • D
    Gas does not obey $Ohm$'s law whereas solution does
