Electrolytes are ionic compounds that dissociate when dissolved, meaning they break apart into their ions (mono- or polyatomic). Good examples would be: table salt (NaCl), Ammonium Nitrate (NH4NO3) or Calcium Phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2).

Nonelectrolytes dissolve in water, but don't dissociate. They are almost always covalent compounds (usually organic). Some examples would be Urea, Caffiene and Nicotiene.

electrolyes are liquid or semi-liquid which dissociate into there constitute ions when dissolved in water, they also conduct electricity because ions are available for conduction of electricity.
non-electrolytes are substances which don't dissociate into constitute ions on dissolving in water. they don't conduct electricity cuz of absence of ions.
Non-electrolytes are generally covalent compunds.
and electrolytes are generally electrolytic compounds.
electrolyte eg- CaCO3
non-electrolyte - CCl
And one more thing there is nothing like ideal electrolyte or non-electrolyte its just the rate of dissociation of ions in water which determined which one is electrolyte n which one is non-electrolyte
