    Strong, Weak, or Nonelectrolyte

    John DeHans
    Electrolytes are substances that ionize when dissolved in water, breaking into cations and anions. Strong electrolytes ionize completely while weak electrolytes only ionize partially. The ions in an electrolyte can complete an electric circuit. Strong electrolytes include strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts. Weak electrolytes are weak acids, weak bases, and insoluble salts. Molecules that do not ionize are nonelectrolytes.

    Strong, Weak, or Nonelectrolyte

    Electrolytes are substances which, when dissolved in water, break up into


    cations (plus-charged ions) and anions (minus-charged ions). We say they
    ionize. Strong electrolytes ionize completely (100%), while weak electrolytes
    ionize only partially (usually on the order of 110%). The ions in an
    electrolyte can be used to complete an electric circuit and power a bulb.
    Strong electrolytes fall into three categories: strong acids, strong bases, and
    soluble salts. The weak electrolytes include weak acids, weak bases and
    insoluble salts. Molecules are nonelectrolytes.
