Even insoluble ionic compounds such as CaCO 3 are electrolytes because they can conduct a current in the molten (melted) state.
What else can I help you with?
Do ionic bonds form electrolytes?
Yes, ionic bonds form electrolytes. When an ionic compound dissolves in a solvent, it breaks apart into positive and negative ions, which can conduct electricity. This is why ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when in solution.
What is an ionic compound with only two different ions called?
One would be the positively charged cation.The other would be the negatively charged anion.
What depends on the presence of electrolytes?
First of, an electrolyte is any substance that contains free ions (ions that aren't bounded with other molecules) and is capable of conducting electricity. Water with salt soluted is an example of an electrolyte. The ionic compound NaCl (salt) separates when mixed with water in its ionic compounds Na+ and Cl- and becomes a good electric conductor, and therefore, and electrolyte. So to answer your question, the presence of electrolytes depends on existence of ionic compounds, that is, molecules bounded by ionic binds, and their capability of conducting electricity when in solution/solid-molten in some cases.
What is a Substances called that are good conductors of electricity?
Substances that are good conductors of electricity are called conductors. These materials have a high concentration of free electrons that can easily move and carry an electric current through them. Metals like copper, silver, and gold are examples of good conductors of electricity.
Why is a melted ionic compound a good conductor of electric current but the a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?
In a melted ionic compound, the ions are free to move and carry electric charge, allowing the compound to conduct electricity. In a solid ionic compound, the ions are fixed in position and cannot move freely, so they are unable to carry electric charge and conduct electricity effectively.

Yes, ionic bonds form electrolytes. When an ionic compound dissolves in a solvent, it breaks apart into positive and negative ions, which can conduct electricity. This is why ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when in solution.

Why is sodium chloride a good solute?
Because is a polar and ionic compound.

Is ionic compounds electrical conductivity in liquid state poor or good?
There are free ions in the liquid state of ionic compound, hence the are good conductors of electricity.
Why is a melted ionic compound is a good conductor of electric current but a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of electric current?
Upon melting, the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.

Atoms of two or more elements chemically combined are?
Two or more elements that are chemically bonded form a molecule of a chemical compound. This is the simple and direct answer to a good basic chemistry question. A molecule. However, if the chemical bond is ionic (like in a salt), it isn't called a molecule, but instead a compound. There are no salt molecules!
What are ionic compound properties?
High boiling points, good conductor of heat and electricity, high solubility
KBr is an example of what?
KBr, or potassium bromide, is an example of an ionic compound. It is formed by the combination of a metal (potassium) and a non-metal (bromine) through ionic bonding. Potassium bromide is often used in medicine and photography.
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.
