What is the relationship between ionic compounds and electrolytes?
Ionic compounds form electrolytes in water solutions or when they are melted.
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."
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
What is the relationship between ionic compounds and electrolytes?
Ionic compounds form electrolytes in water solutions or when they are melted.
what type of compounds produce electrolytes and which produce non-electrolytes?
Ionic compounds produce electrolytes; covalent compounds 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.

When and why are ionic crystals able to transfer electric current?
Ionic compounds become electrolytes only in a solution when ions are formed.
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.
Does ionic compounds conduct electricity when not in solution or molten?
No, because solutions or melts are called electrolytes.
What conducts electricity when dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
