nonelectrolyte

Examples of nonelectrolyte in the following topics:

• Electrolyte and Nonelectrolyte Solutions

  • Unlike nonelectrolytes, electrolytes contain dissolved ions that enable them to easily conduct electricity.
  • Nonelectrolytes are compounds that do not ionize at all in solution.
  • As a result, solutions containing nonelectrolytes will not conduct electricity.
  • Typically, nonelectrolytes are primarily held together by covalent rather than ionic bonds.
  • A common example of a nonelectrolyte is glucose, or C6H12O6.

• Vapor Pressure of Nonelectrolyte Solutions

  • Calculate the vapor pressure of a nonelectrolyte solution using Raoult's law

• Vapor Pressure of Electrolyte Solutions

  • Nonelectrolyte solutions are those in which the solute does not dissociate into ions when dissolved; sugar does not dissociate, for example.
