How do you determine if something is electrolyte?

A molecule which may be dissociated in ions is an electrolyte.


If something has a pH more than 7?

If something has a pH greater than 7, it is considered basic or alkaline. Substances with a pH above 7 have a lower concentration of hydrogen ions and a higher concentration of hydroxide ions.


Is electricity a wave or something else in electronics?

Electricity is just charged ions, not a wave.


What makes something acidic or basic?

Something is acidic when it has a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) and low pH. Something is basic when it has a high concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) and high pH. Acids donate hydrogen ions to solutions, while bases accept hydrogen ions.


Is silver nitrate an acid?

No, for something to be an acid it needs to release hydronium ions(H3O) during dissociation with water. Silver nitrate doesn't contain the ions, thus it is not an acid.


What is it called when something has too many or too little electrons?

They are ions.An ion.


Why does water test as neutral on the pH scale?

Water has a pH of 7 because it contains an equal amount of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-), making it neutral. This balance of ions means that the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) is equal to the concentration of hydroxide ions, resulting in a neutral pH.
