Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity in the molten state or in aqueous solution and is chemically decomposed by it; dilute sulphuric acid is an example. A non-electrolyte does not conduct electricity in either state; sugar solution is an example.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Conduction in an electrolyte is by the movement of ions, not of electrons.
