Difference between the strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes

Serial numberStrong electrolyteWeak electrolyte
1Strong electrolytes are those electrolytes that completely dissociate into their constituent ions in an aqueous solution.Strong electrolytes are those electrolytes that partially dissociate into their constituent ions in an aqueous solution.
2The solution of a strong electrolyte contains almost free mobile ions. So, they have high electrical conductivity.Due to less availability of free ions. Weak electrolytes have low electrical conductivity.
3Examples of strong electrolytes are Sodium hydroxide(NaOH), Potassium hydroxide(KOH), and Sodium chloride(NaCl). Examples of weak electrolytes are Acetic acid(CH3COOH), Ammonium hydroxide(NH4OH).
