A substance whose aqueous solution conducts electricity by dissociation into ions is called a(n):
- Electrolyte
- Semiconductor
- Non-electrolyte
- Insulator
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Electrolyte
Electrolytes (salts, strong/weak acids, bases) dissociate into ions in solution and conduct electricity.
Sucrose and urea do not dissociate and are non-electrolytes.
