what type of compounds produce electrolytes and which produce non-electrolytes?

Ionic compounds produce electrolytes; covalent compounds not.


What is the relationship between an ionic compounds' polarity and stability?

Ionic compounds are polar and stable by nature, which means that their relationship determines whether a compound is ionic or not.


What type of compounds typically form strong electrolytes?

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.


Why ionic compound are called good electrolytes?

Even insoluble ionic compounds such as CaCO 3 are electrolytes because they can conduct a current in the molten (melted) state.


When ionic compounds are dissolved in water they are called?

Any other compounds dissolved in water may be properly called a "solute", and when the compounds are ionic they may also be called "electrolytes."


What is the relationship between a compounds chemical bond type and its mass or density?

Ionic compounds are more soluble in water


Are organic compounds formed with ionic bonds?

Organic compounds tend NOT to be ionic - there are exceptions. Organic Chemistry is defined as the Chemistry of Compounds of Carbon. Ionic forces tend to intercede when we add Oxygen.


How do you determine if a compound is electrolyte or nonelectrolyte?

Electrolytes: acids, bases, and salts (ionic compounds) Nonelectrolytes: usually covalent compounds with the exception of acids. Ionic compounds : One of the ions has a positive charge (called a "cation") and the other has a negative charge ("anion") *Electrolytes can be strong or weak


When and why are ionic crystals able to transfer electric current?

Ionic compounds become electrolytes only in a solution when ions are formed.


Why can solid ionic compounds not be used as electrolytes?

they can't be used as electrolytes because the only way an ionic bond can conduct electricity is when you drop it in water. The water loosens up the space between the ions and allow them to glide which them allows them to conduct an electrical current.


What determines the strength of a solute as an electrolyte?

Solutes become electrolytes by ionizing. Ionic compounds therefore make good electrolytes; covalent compounds don't.


What Are substances which when dissolved in water will conduct an electrical current?

These substances are ionic compounds forming electrolytes by dissociation in water.
