Are strong bases good electrolytes?
Weak bases are indeed poor electrolytes. This is because they produce a smaller amount of ions than strong bases. The amount of ions produced is what makes something a strong or weak electrolyte or acid and base.
Are strong and weak bases examples of strong electrolytes?
Salt water, battery acid, lemon juice, orange juice etc.
What is the relationship between a weak electrolyte and a weak acid or base?
The strength of an acid is expressed by its Ka value (acid 'equilibrium' constant) or its derivative pKa value ( pKa=-log10[Ka] )The relation with the strength of the conjugate base, (Kb , pKb values) is as follows:Ka * Kb = 1.0*10-14 at 25oCpKa + pKb = 14.00 at 25oC
Is ammonium hydroxide electrolytes?
yes, it is a weak electrolytes
How strong are the electrolytes in lemons?
There are strong electrolytes and weak and non electrolytes. There is no very strong, or pretty strong, electrolytes. If they are strong, they are strong. So, in lemons, you have salts which are strong electrolytes, and you have citric acid, which is a weak electrolyte.
What are weak electrolytes in water?
weak acids/bases.
Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.

Would you describe a weak acid as a strong electrolyte?
No, a weak acid is a weak electrolyte Strong electrolytes - strong acids, bases, salts, and ionic compounds
What do you think about acids and bases?
I think acids donate electrons and bases accept electrons. Both acid and bases can be weak or strong, that is good or poor electrolytes. What else is there to think?

Is CH3CO2H a strong or weak electrolyte?
no, it's a non-electrolyte because it's not a weak acid/base. all molecular compounds that aren't acids/bases are non-electrolytes.
Is NH4OH a weak or strong electrolytes?
Weak electrolyte
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.
