Question

Choose the correct option which is the non electrolyte liquid?
A) Water
B) Salt solution
C) Glucose
D) All of the above

Answer 1

The non electrolyte is an electrolyte which does not have the tendency to ionize if it is dissolved or melted. It is a poor conductor of electricity as they do not readily dissociate ions. They are usually bonded by covalent bonds.

Complete solution:
Eectrolytes are those which can ionize and get dissociated in the solution. They are usually bonded by ionic bonds. Which gets a break in solution to dissociate cations and anions. All the ionic salts are said to be examples of electrolytes. The non electrolytes are bonded with covalent bonds so when the compound is introduced into polar solvent they do not get dissociated. Electrolytes are conducting in nature,because of the presence of mobile ions.Depending on mobility of ions present, electrolytes can be classified as strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes. Electrolyte with more number of ions is stronger than the electrolyte with lesser number of ions.
Water is considered to be a electrolyte but a weak electrolyte because a small amount of water is able to be partially dissociated into ${{H}^{+}} and O{{H}^{-}}$ions. The salt solution is considered to be the electrolyte because they get dissolved in the polar solvent and get dissociated into ions in it by the process of salvation. They can conduct electricity as they are bonded by ionic bonds. Glucose is the non electrolyte because it does not get dissociated in the solution into ions. They do not conduct electricity.

Hence the option B is the correct answer.

Note: Glucose has the chemical formula ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}$. It is a carbohydrate and a monosaccharide sugar. It is known as dextrose too. The primary glucose is corn syrup. Glucose is used in the human body for energy and storage.
