Which outcome results when the applied voltage exceeds lithium iodide's decomposition potential?

💡 Explanation

Electrolytic decomposition occurs because the electrical energy exceeds the ionic bond energy causing lithium and iodine to form via electrolysis. This is electrochemical decomposition, rather than simple ion migration, therefore, forming elements rather than solely affecting conductivity or interfaces.
