A compound that conduct electricity in molten (fused) or aqueous (solution) state and which simultaneously undergoes decomposition (breaking into ions), with the passage of an electric current through it, is an electrolyte. We classify electrolytes as strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes. This is done on the basis of the extent to which the electrolyte breaks into ions.
These are the electrolytes that ionize completely to form free mobile ions in the solution. A large number of free mobile ions are available, in them, to conduct electricity. For eg. .
These are the electrolytes that ionize only partially to form free mobile ions. Only a small number of free mobile ions are available, in them, to conduct electricity. For eg. etc.
Some more examples of strong and weak electrolytes:
Strong Electrolyte | Weak Electrolyte |
Sea water Nitric acid Copper sulphate solution Sodium chloride Sulphuric acid |
Ordinary tap water Oxalic acid Carbonic acid Ammonium hydroxide Citric acid |
Assetion : In an electrolyte, the positive ions move from left to right and the negative ions from right to left, so there is no net current flows in an electrolyte. Reason : The current flowers from cathode to anode in an electrolyte. | |||
