Question

Explain strong electrolytes by using what you know about the properties of atoms, ions, and molecules.

Answer 1

Strong electrolytes can be considered to dissociate completely in solution and put ions into solution. This excludes polar molecular compounds that dissolve in water and remain molecules (like sugars). This excludes ionic compounds that are mostly not soluble.

Strong acids and strong hydoxide bases qualify as electrolytes. Soluble salts qualify as electrolytes.
