In a conductor, electrical current is flowing through the material in its solid form. Conductors are generally metals. On the other hand, an electrolyte can carry current in its molten state or in a solution form. Electrolytes are generally made from ionic compounds and not covalent compounds (HCl and NH3 are a few of the exceptions).

RE:
Is NH3 an electrolyte?

see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte
An electrolyte is a substance that dissolves in water to form a solution that conducts electricity. Ammonia NH3 dissolves in water, and this solution conducts electricity, so ammonia is an electrolyte.
In particular, some of the dissolved ammonia binds a proton to become the ammonium ion NH4+.

NH3 isn't an electrolyte. NaNO2 is.

Are you the one with the methanol before? In pure liquid ammonia, there is a slight dissociation to ammonium ion and amide ion, but probably not enough to make it a decent electrolyte
