Question
Explain with examples the terms weak and strong electrolytes.
✓
Answer
Weak electrolytes$:$ Weak electrolytes are those which do not dissociate into ions completely in aqueous solution $e.g.$ $CH_3COOH$
Strong electrolytes$:$ Strong electrolytes are those which dissociate into ions completely in aqueous solution $e.g. NaCl$
Strong electrolytes$:$ Strong electrolytes are those which dissociate into ions completely in aqueous solution $e.g. NaCl$
