Electrolytes are substances that dissolve in water to produce conducting solution of ions. CH3OH Methanol is an alcohol group that does not conduct current because of the hydroxyl group attached- Any alcohol does not conduct current
- can be weak electrolytes or strong electrolytes
- All ionic bonded substances ARE STRONG
ELECTROLYTES AND will produce MANY ions in solution and dissociate to almost completely.
- All acids and bases will produce ions in solution-SOME
ACIDS AND BASES ARE WEAK AND STRONG remember
- NonPolar covalent bonded substances WILL NOT
CONDUCT CURRENT BECAUSE OF NO DIPOLES PRESENT-no partial charges present.
Oct 199:42 PM Difference in Strength of Electrolytes Glucose NaCl
Strong electrolyte is a compound that dissociates almost completely Weak electrolyte is a compound that dissociates to small extent and produces just a few ions in solution
