Question
Distinguish between strong electrolyte and weak electrolyte.
| Strong electrolyte | Weak electrolyte | |
| 1. | The electrolytes ionizing completely or almost completely are strong electrolytes. | The electrolytes which dissociate to a smaller extent in aqueous solution are weak electrolytes |
| 2. | In strong electrolytes, there is no equilibrium between the ions and the nonionized molecules. | In weak electrolytes, an equilibrium exists between the ions and the nonionized molecules. |
| 3. | A reaction arrow (→) between the ions and nonionized molecules of the strong electrolyte is used to represent the ionization reaction | A double arrow (⇌) between the ions and nonionized molecules of the weak electrolyte is used to represent the ionization reaction. |
| 4. | e.g. Strong acids, strong bases and salts. | e.g. Weak acids and weak bases |
