  4. Item
    Dissociation increases sharply with dilution
    Category
    Weak electrolyte
Categories
  1. Item
    Strong electrolyte
  2. Item
    Weak electrolyte

Explanation

Both show molar conductivity rising on dilution, but the shape differs: a slow rise for strong electrolytes, a very steep one for weak electrolytes in dilute solution. Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Ch 2 Electrochemistry.
