Why is water a non electrolyte?
The pure water molecules donot contain enough ions to transfer to the electrons from one end to another end. This property makeswater a weak electrolyte. To be a strong electrolyte it must ionize into its constituent ion but in case of pure water, it ionizes very slightly into its ions making it a weak electrolyte.
Is pure water an electrolyte?
Pure water, having a very low concentration of ions, cannot conduct electricity. When a solute dissociates in water to form ions, it is called an electrolyte, due to the solution being a good electrical conductor.
