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.


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 word describes the strength of a solution?

What determines the properties a solution?

The most important property is the solute concentration.


A solution is hypertonic?

The solution is above strength in 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.


Is a neutral solution a strong electrolyte?

No, a neutral solution does not necessarily mean that it is a strong electrolyte. The strength of an electrolyte depends on its ability to dissociate into ions in solution. A neutral solution may contain weak electrolytes or non-electrolytes.
