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.
Many polymers are non -electrolytes. Virtually all plastics are non-electrolytes.
salts
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
An ionic compound. Because an ionic compound is made up of ions that either carry or donate electrons
Nonmetals burning in oxygen form covalent type compounds, as compared to metals which form ionic compounds.
Carbon is quite a special element. It can form 2 double bonds, and is able to form long chains with itself, C-C bonds are also strong. This makes it ideal as the basis of living organisms.
When elements and compounds combine to form new compounds the reaction is described in a chemical equation.
Ionic compounds form electrolytes in water solutions or when they are melted.
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. ^^;
Substances that form ions when dissolved in water are 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.
Yes they have a very strong tendency to do so.

Pure metals are neither, no pure element is and acid or an alkali, it is only compounds made from elements that have this property. When metals form compounds those compounds are typically alkaline.
No, ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal. When two nonmetals combine, they are more likely to form covalent compounds, where electrons are shared between atoms rather than transferred.
Noble gases are generally considered unreactive, due to the stability of their electron shells, and it was originally believed that they could not form compounds. It was later discovered that a very strong oxidizing agent though is able to form compounds with them.
Yes.
Carbon atoms have the ability to form strong links with four other atoms and hence can form a large variety of compounds. Methane, Ethane, Carbon Tetra-chloride and more are part of a large number of organic and inorganic compounds formed by carbon. Carbon compounds are those containing carbon.
Compounds do not form elements. Elements form compounds.
