What is the difference between Modern explanation & Arrhenius explanation for the theory of electrolysis ?

Dear student

According to Arrhenius concept: ​​​​​The ionic theory was first propounded by Arrhenius in 1887 to give some insights and explanations about electrolysis.According to this theory, when an electrolyte is dissolved in water, some or all of the molecules of the substance dissociate into freely-moving charged particles which are called ions and this process known as ionization.

According to Modern theory of electrolysis:  ​​​​​Modern theory explained that electrolytes are ionic even in solid state and their ions are held by strong electrostatic forces which make them immobile and water renders these ions mobility by breaking the electrostatic forces.
