Electrolytes and Non-electrolytes- Electrolytes are salts that ionize completely in solution and Non-electrolytes do not dissociate into ions in solution.
The state of the Ions of the electrolytes which are in equilibrium with the dissociated molecule of the electrolyte is called Ionic Equilibrium. It is the equilibrium established between the unionized molecules and the ions in a solution of weak electrolytes. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
The chemical substances which split into ions when dissolved in water and conduct electricity either in a molten state or in an aqueous solution are called electrolytes. Electrolytes are salts or molecules that ionize completely in solution. For example NaCl, KOH, HCI, CuSO4, NaOH, etc.
The chemical substances which don’t split into ions when dissolved in water and don’t conduct electricity either in a molten state or in an aqueous solution are called non-electrolytes. Non-electrolytes do not dissociate into ions in solution. For example- Glucose solution, Benzen, Nitro Benzene, etc.
Types of electrolytes:- There are two types of electrolytes:-
On the basis of the structure, electrolytes can be further classified into two types:-
