Single Choice
Which of these will act as a non-electrolyte?
ALiquid carbon tetrachloride
Correct Answer
BAcetic acid
CSodium hydroxide aqueous solution acid
DPotassium chloride aqueous solution
Solution
To conduct electricity the presence of free electrons is necessary.
In carbon tetrachloride, carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, shares each with four chlorine atom and thus the bond is formed by sharing which are covalent bonds.
Hence, due to the absence of ions makes $$CCl_4$$ to not conduct electricity.
