Question

A compound that does NOT conduct an electric current in aqueous solution is known as a(n) A) ion. B) saturate. C) dissociate. D) nonelectrolyte.

Answer 1

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a substance dissolved in water dissociates into ions then the resulting solution is known as an electrolyte.

As electric current is the flow of electric charges therefore, a solution or substance having ions is able to conduct electric current.

Whereas a solution which does not contain any ions is known as a non-electrolyte.

A saturate is a solution which contains maximum amount of solute. A saturated solution is also able to conduct electricity. Similarly, a dissociate will lead to the formation of ions into a solution.

Hence, a dissociate is also able to conduct electric current.

Thus, we can conclude that a compound that does NOT conduct an electric current in aqueous solution is known as a non-electrolyte.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution that contains a substance in the form of ions is able to conduct electricity and this type of solution is known as electrolyte.

On the other hand, a solution which does not contain a substance in the form of ions and it is not able to conduct electricity is known as a non-electrolyte.

Whereas when an atom loses or gain an electron then it acquires a charge and it is known as an ion.

A saturate solution is a solution which consists of high concentration of solute and more solute is not able to dissolve into the solution.

When a compound or substance dissociates into two or more substances then this type of reaction is known as dissociate reaction.

Hence, we can conclude that a compound that does NOT conduct an electric current in aqueous solution is known as a non-electrolyte.
