Answer:

An electrolyte is medium containing ions that is electrically conducting through the movement but not conducting electrons . Strong electrolytes are electrolytes that completely ionizes in a solution . Weak electrolytes that partially ionize in a solution .

Step-by-step explanation:

Strong electrolytes fully dissociate In a solution such as NH4Cl , KOH(Potassium hydroxide) and HCl ( Hydrochloric acid)

Weak electrolytes partially dissociate In a solution such as HC2H3O2 (acetic acid), H2CO3 (carbonic acid), NH3 (ammonia), and H3PO4 (phosphoric acid) .
