Ionic compounds form electrolytes in water solutions or when they are melted.
Ionic compounds are polar and stable by nature, which means that their relationship determines whether a compound is ionic or not.
Even insoluble ionic compounds such as CaCO 3 are electrolytes because they can conduct a current in the molten (melted) state.
Any other compounds dissolved in water may be properly called a "solute", and when the compounds are ionic they may also be called "electrolytes."
Ionic compounds are more soluble in water
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.
Ionic compounds produce electrolytes; covalent compounds not.

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.

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
Ionic compounds become electrolytes only in a solution when ions are formed.
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.
Solutes become electrolytes by ionizing. Ionic compounds therefore make good electrolytes; covalent compounds don't.
These substances are ionic compounds forming electrolytes by dissociation in water.
