Solutes become electrolytes by ionizing. Ionic compounds therefore make good electrolytes; covalent compounds don't.

What is the relationship between the molecular bond strength of a solute and the extent to which the solute and the extent to which the solute ionizes in solution?

The extent to which a solute ionizes in solution is not related to the bond strength of the solute. The extent of the ionization will have to do with the identity of the solvent and the bonds that it can form with the solute.


What is the characteristic of a solutions?

The essential characteristic is the concentration of the solute.


What kind of solute particles are present in water solutions of electrolytes and non electrolytes?

In water solutions of electrolytes, the solute particles are ions, which are formed when the electrolyte dissociates into charged particles upon dissolving. For non-electrolytes, the solute particles are typically neutral molecules that do not dissociate into ions, such as sugars or alcohols. Consequently, electrolyte solutions can conduct electricity due to the movement of ions, while non-electrolyte solutions do not conduct electricity.


Is an electrolyte a solvent?

No, an electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions in a solution, allowing it to conduct electricity. A solvent, on the other hand, is a substance in which other substances can dissolve. Water is a common solvent for electrolytes.


What determines the properties a solution?

The most important property is the solute concentration.


What word describes the strength of a solution?

solute


The solution is below strength in solute?

To increase the strength of the solution, you can add more solute to reach the desired concentration. Alternatively, you can reduce the amount of solvent present to concentrate the solution. Stirring or heating the solution can also help dissolve more solute and increase the strength.


A solution is hypertonic?

The solution is above strength in solute.


What determines the electrical capacity for a lead acid battery?
