Any other compounds dissolved in water may be properly called a "solute", and when the compounds are ionic they may also be called "electrolytes."
There is one very important property of ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are compounds that will conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

Ionic compounds, for one, can dissolve in water. They split up into oppositely charged ions when dissolved in water.
Ionic Compounds have poor conductivity when it is solid. Ionic Compounds have great conductivity when it is either dissolved in water or is melted
These substances are ionic compounds forming electrolytes by dissociation in water.

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example

Many salts are also ionic compounds.

Ionic compounds can only be dissolved in water if the energy of hydration is greater than latice energy of that compound
These are ionic compounds dissociated in water.
The water is called solvent, the compounds to be dissolved are solutes
These substances are ionic compounds forming electrolytes by dissociation in water.
Ionic compounds are the compounds with dissociate into cations and anions when dissolved in solution. For example regular table salt (NaCl) is a ionic compound when dissolved in water dissociate into Na+ and Cl- , such a solution then can conduct electricity. Pure water with no impurities (no dissolved ions) is a modest insulater. Ionic compounds are combination of a metal and a non-metal.
Ionic compounds are easily dissolved.
