Compounds which are not ionic are commonly not electrolytes. An ionic compound is a compound composed of a metal and a nonmetal, such as NaCl or AgI. Compounds with different compositions are not electrolytes.

When dissolved in water electrolytes dissociate?

Yes, electrolytes are compounds that ionize when dissolved in water, breaking apart into positively and negatively charged ions. This allows them to conduct electricity in solution. Examples of electrolytes include salts, acids, and bases.


Is strong odor a characteristic of metal?

No the opposite. It is a characteristic of metals that they have very little or no odor.


What are the differences between a strong electrolyte and weak electrolyte and non electrolyte?

first of all new guy was here any way here is the answer,An electrolyte refers to a substance that contains free ions and can be used as an electrically conductive medium. Most of the solute doesnot dissociate in a weak electrolyte whereas in a strong electrolyte a higher ratio of solute dissociates to form free ions. Some examples of strong and weak electrolytes are as follows: Weak electrolytes: H2SO4, HCl Strong electrolytes: NaNO3, NaCl, Na2SO4


Does mercury react with bases?

Mercury does not react with weak bases, but it can react with strong bases to form mercury compounds such as oxides or hydroxides. These reactions typically depend on the concentration of the base and the specific form of mercury present.


What neon compounds it forms?

Neon primarily forms compounds with fluorine, such as neon difluoride (NeF2). These compounds are unstable and typically only exist at very low temperatures and high pressures. Neon does not readily form compounds with other elements due to its inert nature.

What is the difference between electrolytes and nonelectrolytes?

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. ^^;

Is sodium an inorganic compound?

Sodium chloride is an inorganic compound.


Compounds that release ions when they dissolve in water are called?

Substances that form ions when dissolved in water are electrolytes.


Is C11H22011 a strong electrolyte?

There is no absolute answer to your question because the empirical formula given will correspond to very many molecular formulas, some of which may well be good electrolytes. Also, "strong" in a chemical sense means highly ionised - with few exceptions, electrolytes are highly ionised - few compounds are one and not the other as well.


What compounds are formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base?

When a strong acid reacts with a strong base, they neutralize each other to form salt and water. The reaction typically involves the transfer of hydrogen ions from the acid to the base, forming water, while the remaining ions combine to form a salt.


What is the relationship between ionic compounds and electrolytes?

Ionic compounds are made up of ions that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water, making them electrolytes. When dissolved, the ions in the ionic compound separate and are free to move, allowing them to carry an electric current. Electrolytes are essential for various biological processes in the body and are commonly found in sports drinks to help replenish lost minerals during exercise.


Are Nitrate compounds are insoluble and form precipitates?

No, nitrate compounds are typically soluble in water and do not form precipitates. Nitrate salts are highly soluble due to the strong attractive forces between the nitrate ion and water molecules.


What determines the strength of a solute as an electrolyte?

The strength of a solute as an electrolyte depends on its ability to ionize in solution, meaning it breaks apart into ions. Strong electrolytes fully ionize, resulting in a high concentration of ions in solution, while weak electrolytes only partially ionize, leading to a lower concentration of ions. This ability to form ions influences the conductivity of the solution and its overall electrolytic strength.


Do ionic bonds form electrolytes?

Yes, ionic bonds form electrolytes. When an ionic compound dissolves in a solvent, it breaks apart into positive and negative ions, which can conduct electricity. This is why ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when in solution.


Are strong acids poor electrolytes?

All acids and bases are electrolytes. However, the strong acids or bases are strong electrolytes, and the weak acids or bases are weak electrolytes. Electrolytes are substances, that when dissolved in water, produce ions capable of conducting electricity. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base, and strong electrolyte. Hydrogen bromide is a strong acid, and also a strong electrolyte. Ionic compounds generally form good electrolytes because they completely ionize when dissolved in water, and can then conduct electricity. Gatorade can be marketed as an "electrolyte containing beverage" because when the ionic salt, NaCl (table salt) or KCl, is added to water, it ionizes into Na+ and Cl-, which then are able to conduct electricity. Pure water is a very weak base, and bad conductor of electricity; there aren't enough free ions to carry a charge. We need electrolytes for conduction of nerve impulses, which are electrical. The reason why we even consume sports drinks is because we lose ionic salts in our sweat. Loss of too much salt through perspiration, and intake of too much pure water, diminishes our ability to conduct nerve impulses - which results in cramping, fatigue, and in extreme cases, death. In short, sports drinks are, without sugar and flavoring, just water with small amounts of different salts thrown in - and acids and bases are electrolytes.
