A non-electrolyte does contains no ions.

  1. Non-electrolytes are usually held together by covalent bonds that do not dissolve when dissolved in a polar solvent, It molecules are non-polar.
  2. When heated or dissolved, they do not readily dissociate into ions.
  3. Non-electrolytes have low electrical conductivity, these non-electrolyte solutions also do not conduct electricity.
