Question 3 • Chemistry

Which statement about electrolytes and nonelectrolytes is not true?

Answer
A
Electrolytes disperse as molecules in a solution.
B
Electrolytes dissociate into ions in the solution.
C
Nonelectrolytes include cap c sub 6 cap h sub 12 cap o sub 6 and cap c sub 6 cap h sub 6 .
D
Nonelectrolytes include all molecular compounds that do not have a full charge.

Explanation

Electrolytes produce ions in solution, allowing the solution to conduct electricity. Ionic electrolytes dissociate into ions, while some molecular electrolytes form ions by ionizing; they do not simply disperse as unchanged molecules. Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and benzene (C₆H₆) are examples of nonelectrolytes because they remain as molecules in solution.
