= Electrolytes =
 
* Electrolytes
 - Any substance that conducts electricity when disolved into water
* Non-electrolytes
 - Any substance that does not conduct when dissolved in water

If ions are not formed, the compound is not an electrolyte. 

* [[salts]]
 - MetalAnion = Metal^+ + Anion^-
* [[acids]]
 - HAnion = H + Anion^-
* [[bases]]
 - MOH = Metal + OH^-

== Strong and weak electrolytes ==

* Most salts of alkali and alkali earth metals are strong electrolytes
* Most acids are weak electrolytes
* Hydroxides (OH) of alkali metals are strong [[bases]]
* Molecular substances (non metals bounded with non-metals) are
  non-electrolytes
