What Are Electrolytes?

The video explains electrolytes, substances that dissociate into ions in water, enabling electrical conductivity. It categorizes them into strong, weak, and nonelectrolytes based on their dissociation extent. Strong electrolytes fully dissociate, weak ones partially, and nonelectrolytes do not dissociate. The video also covers ionic and covalent electrolytes, their interactions with water, and how to measure conductivity. Examples like potassium chloride, acetic acid, and ethanol illustrate these concepts.
