They have ions (Na+ and Cl- ions) and ionize completely. Hence sodium chloride will conduct electricity in fused (molten) form as well as in solution.

What type of electrolyte is sodium chloride?

In water solution or in molten state NaCl is a strong electrolyte.


Is NaCl an non electrolyte?

NaCl is an ionic compound. In water it dissolves completely forming ions. Since it dissolves completely forming Na^+ and Cl^- ions it is classified as a strong electrolyte.Strong electrolytes are completely dissociated into ions in solution and conduct an electrical current strongly.Weak electrolytes are only partly dissociated (examples are molecules like acetic acid which forms a weak electrolyte).Nonelectrolytes do not form ions at all and do not conduct electricity in their solutions.

Is sucrose a strong electrolyte?

Glucose (C6H1206) is a covalent molecule and not an electrolyte. Glucose, unlike ironically bonded sodium chloride (NaCl), will not conduct electricity when solvated in water.

Is sodium chloride a strong or weak electrolyte?

Yes, because acetic acid is a weak acid (therefore it is a weak electrolyte), but NaCl is a salt that ionizes completely. In general salts and strong acids and bases are strong electrolyte, while weak acids and weak bases are weak electrolytes.
