What is the difference between electrolytes and nonelectrolytes?

Answer 1

electrolytes react with water to form ions in solution, and nonelectrolytes have molecules.Electrolytes are ionic compounds and some covalent compounds like strong acids. Non electrolytes do not ionize in water. Only covalent compounds like CH4 and C6H6 can be nonelectrolytes-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------♥

Compounds whose solutions in water or whose molten states are capable of conducting electricity are called electrolytes. They are either acids, bases, or salts. Solutions of these compounds contain ions. Electrolytes which in solution are completely or almost completely in the form of ions are called strong electrolytes. They are very good conductors. Those whose solutions contain mostly covalent molecules are poor conductors of electricity and are called weak electrolytes. Non electrolytes are compounds whose solutions DO NOT conduct electricity. ^^;

.

Answer 3

electrolyte is any substance that dissociate into ions and form electrically conducting medium. e.g Nacl while nonelectrloyte substance it is the one that doesnot dissociate in a solvent into ions. e.g glucose

Answer 4

The electolyte is the medium through which the electrons pass (it is always a solution or molten metal), while the electrodes are the two ends (positive anode and negative cathode of the circuit.

Answer 5

Electrolytes have free ions, that is, ions that can roam around where they want, whereas non electrolytes either don't have ions at all, or they are bounded to each other by ionic bonds.

Answer 6

Electrolytes are substances that release ions in water.

Answer 7

Electrolytes can be dissociated in water forming ions.
