Maharashtra State Board: Class 12
Definition: Electrolyte
The substance that conducts electric current when dissociated into positively and negatively charged ions is called an electrolyte.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 12
Definition: Degree of Dissociation (α)
It is the fraction of total number of moles of the electrolyte that dissociates into its ions when the equilibrium is attained.
It is denoted by symbol α.
\[\alpha=\frac{\text{Number of moles dissociated}}{\text{Total number of moles}}\]
Maharashtra State Board: Class 12
Key Points: Types of Electrolyte
| Type | Nature | Extent of Ionisation | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strong electrolytes | Ionise completely or almost completely in solution | Near 100% | HCl, H₂SO₄, NaOH, KOH, NaCl, KCl |
| Weak electrolytes | Ionise partially; poor conductors | Small extent | CH₃COOH, H₃BO₃, NH₄OH, HCN |
