No ethanol is not an electrolyte, it doesn't form any ions when mixed with water. Ethanol, ammonia, and acetic acid are some of the non-aqueous solvents that are able to dissolve electrolytes.

∙ 15y agono,if you look at the formula for ethanol CH3-CH2-OH there are no ions present to form the ionic bond.insted a COVALENT bond is formed based on the sharing of electrons to form sigma and pi bonds,covalent bonding is important in organic molecules as most organic compounds are covalently bonded

∙ 14y agoAs there are no ions present in the formula of Ethanol an ionic bond can not be made.
Therefore a covalent bond occurs.

Is ammonium sulphate a strong electrolyte weak electrolyte or non-electrolyte?
It is a strong electrolyte
Is wax an electrolyte?
Wax is not an electrolyte.
Is calcium bromide an electrolyte?
It is a strong electrolyte
Is sulfur an electrolyte?
No, elemental sulfur does not conduct electricity and is not an electrolyte.
Is 1 M NaCl a electrolyte or a nonelectrolyte?
The solution is an electrolyte
Is ethyl alcohol a non electrolyte?
Yes,the Ethyl alcohol(ethanol) is an electrolyte.
What kind of an electrolyte is ethyl alcohol?
Ethanol is not an electrolyte.
Is ethanol a non-electrolyte?
Being slightly polar it is a mild electrolyte.
Is aqueous ethanol acid an electrolyte?
If you think to acetic acid this is a weak electrolyte.
Is ethanol solution a weak or strong electrolyte?
the conductance of ethanolic solutions depends upon the electrolyte(solute) present in it,but ethanol itself does not conduct any electricity.
Can ethanol be used as an electrolyte between zinc and copper?
no
Why is ethanol not use as an electrolyte?
The dissociation is not so important.
Are Baso4 or C2H5OH or NaCl or CaOH2 none electrolyte when dissolved in water?
BaSO4 is insoluble in water so it is very weak electrolyte, ethanol can not produce ions so is non electrolyte other two are good electrolytes.
Is rubbing alcohol an electrolyte?
Yes, rubbing alcohol is an electrolyte. However, it is considered a weak one and so weak that some do not consider it a non-electrolyte.
Is CH2OHCH2OH a strong electrolyte?
Firstly, CH2CH2OH does not exist. I assume however, that you meant ethanol, CH3CH2OH. If you did, then no, it is a non-conductor. A good conductor is an ionic solution. Organic electrolytes most popularly used are of the tetraalkyl ammonium family.
What is any water-soluble compound that is also a non-electrolyte?
Anything that hydrogen bond with the water molecules makes it water soluble, such as alcohols. Ethanol is water-soluble because its hydroxyl group bonds with the water molecules. It is not an electrolyte because it does not form ions when in a solution. Electrolytes form ions when they are in water. For example, sodium chloride is an electrolyte because it dissociates into its cation and anion when in water.
Is sugar water an electrolyte or non electrolyte?
Its a non electrolyte.
