Question

Write the difference between with examples:
A strong electrolyte and a weak electrolyte

✓

Answer

Sr.No.	Characteristics	Strong electrolyte	Weak electrolyte
1	Dissociation into ions in aqueous solution.	Almost complete	Partial and not much
2	Species present in solution.	Almost only free ions	Both ions and undissociated molecules.
3	Number of ions present in solution.	Very large	Only limited in numbers
4	Quantity of current conducted	Large amounts, a bulb glows brightly	Only small amounts, a bulb glows dimly
5	Examples	HCl, NaOH, NaCl	$CH_3COOH, NH_4OH.$
