Electrolytes and Nonelectrolytes?

Question

Are all electrolytes soluble and nonelectrolytes not soluble?

Is that even correct?

Thanks.

Answer 1

No no no
Electrolytes are substances that, when dissolved in water, are good conductors of electricity.

Nonelectrolytes are substances that are POOR conductors even if they dissolve in water

Salts are electrolytes and we know that most dissolve in water.

Sugar, we know dissolves in water, but will NOT conduct electricity. So it is an example of a soluble nonelectrolyte substance.

Answer 2

Electrolytes must be dissolved. They must also dissociate and release ions to carry the electrons to be able to conduct. Many nonelectrolytes are soluble, like sugar, but they can not conduct because they do not release ions..Salt in water, NaCl, becomes Na+ and Cl-, charged particles in water, salt water conducts.
