Question

What do you understand by non-electrolytes?

Answer 1

Insulators are compounds that prevent electric current from flowing through them. These materials include rubber, glass, plastics, sulphur, dry wood, and so on. While some compounds, such as glucose, sugar, urea, and others, dissolve in water, their aqueous solutions are not electrically conductive. These materials, which are typically referred to as non-electrolytes, are also insulators.
