What is Electrolyte?
An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent such as water. The dissolved electrolyte separates into cations and anions that carry electrical charge. Strong electrolytes (such as NaCl and HCl) dissociate completely, while weak electrolytes (such as acetic acid) only partially dissociate.
