Why is sodium chloride a strong electrolyte?

NaCl is an ionic compound. In water it dissolves completely forming ions. Since it dissolves completely forming Na^+ and Cl^- ions it is classified as a strong electrolyte. read more

A strong electrolyte is one that completely dissociates in water. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound, and it exists as a combination of oppositely charged ions even in its pure form (solid state). In its aqueous solution, the oppositely ions are only separated further to a certain extent by the process of solvation. read more

sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte and it is an ionic compound. In ionic compounds, the compounds are held together by electrostatic forces( the charges of the respective ions attract) Na+ and Cl- attract. read more
