Differentiate between strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes. Mention two examples each.
(N/A) Strong electrolytes are substances that dissociate completely into ions when dissolved in an aqueous solution. They conduct electricity very well due to the high concentration of ions. Examples: $NaCl$ (Sodium chloride) and $HCl$ (Hydrochloric acid).
Weak electrolytes are substances that dissociate only partially into ions in an aqueous solution. They conduct electricity poorly because only a small fraction of the molecules exist as ions. Examples: $CH_{3}COOH$ (Acetic acid) and $NH_{4}OH$ (Ammonium hydroxide).
