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?
