      Electrolytes are used in electricity production, particularly in galvanic cells and electrolytic cells. In these cells, the electrolyte allows for free movement of ions, thereby conducting electrical charge and allowing the cell to function

    Dissociation and ionisation are different processes - you have used the terms interchangeably which would confuse students. eg silver chloride only dissolves/dissociates partially but is a strong electrolyte due to the fact that the part of the crystal that does dissolve is entirely dissolved as ions. Partial ionisation (eg as occurs with acetic acid) partially dissociating is a weak electrolyte since of the dissolved CH3COOH molecules most remain as molecules ad only few ionise into CH3COO- and H+ ions.

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  4 роки тому +1

      I don't think I used them interchangeably. Dissociation is for ionic solids, ionization is for covalent acids and bases.

    According to my sources, all acids and bases are electrolytes so are they all covalent compounds and dissolvable in water? If they don't dissolve in water, does it mean that their ions don't disassociate either; are some acids/bases that are not electrolytes because of their inability to disassociate in water?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  6 років тому +7

      like if it's a strong or weak electrolyte? well usually strong vs. weak is just ionic vs. covalent, but there are plenty of exceptions, like insoluble salts, or strong acids, so really you just kind of have to know them.
