Strong bases are electrolytes?
In water there is only one strong base: hydroxide (OH-).But only the dissolvable hydoxides (of alkali metals: NaOH, KOH etc.) are strong electrolytes.
What is the relationship if any between strong electrolyte and strong acid or base?
A strong electrolyte is an ionic compound which is completely dissociated in dilute solution. It may be an acid, a base or neither. Strong acids are strong electrolytes which produce hydrogen ions in water, and strong bases are strong electrolytes which produce hydroxide ions in water.
Strong electrolytes are those in which?
Strong electrolytes are substances that completely dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, leading to high electrical conductivity. Examples include strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts.
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.
Are strong and weak bases examples of strong electrolytes?
Yes, both strong bases (e.g. NaOH, KOH) and weak bases (e.g. NH3, CH3NH2) are examples of strong electrolytes. Strong bases dissociate completely in water, producing ions that conduct electricity well. Weak bases partially dissociate in water, but still produce some ions that can conduct electricity.
Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No, not all strong electrolytes are strong acids. Strong electrolytes include strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts. Strong acids are a subset of strong electrolytes that fully dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, leading to a high concentration of ions in solution.
Strong bases are electrolytes?

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?

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 is the range of conductivity exhibited by strong electrolytes?
The range of conductivity exhibited by strong electrolytes is typically high, indicating that they are good conductors of electricity.
What are strong electrolytes weak electrolytes and nonelectrolytes?
Ionic compounds are always strong electrolytes.Covalent compounds are non-electrolytes.Strong acids, strong bases and salts are always strong electrolytes
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
Is electrolyte considered corrosive?
Electrolytes themselves are not corrosive, but certain electrolyte solutions can be corrosive depending on their composition and concentration. For example, strong acids or bases used as electrolytes can be corrosive.
