Question

Explain why : Cu, though a conductors of electricity is a non electrolyte?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

There seems to be some ambiguity in your question. Cu in its elemental form is a metallic conductor. But it can't be regarded as an electrolyte. This is because an electrolyte is a substance that furnishes free ions in aqueous solution and thereby, conducts electricity. Cu in its metallic elemental form does not furnish ions. Hence, it is a metallic conductor and a non-electrolyte.​

Do let us know in case of any further concerns.
