Electrolyte and Non-electrolyte
Solutions
A solution is a homogenous mixture of 2 or more
substances
The solute is(are) the substance(s) present in the
smaller amount(s)
The solvent is the substance present in the larger
amount
Solution Solvent Solute
Soft drink (l) H2O Sugar, CO2
Air (g) N2 O2, Ar, CH4
Soft Solder (s) Pb Sn

An electrolyte is a substance that, when dissolved in
water, results in a solution that can conduct electricity.
A nonelectrolyte is a substance that, when dissolved,
results in a solution that does not conduct electricity.
