Question
identify the electrolyte capacity of the material in the particle model. weak electrolyte non - electrolyte strong electrolyte
To determine the electrolyte type, we analyze the particle model. A weak electrolyte partially ionizes, meaning there are both ionized (dissociated) and un - ionized (molecular) species. In the given model, we can see that there are some intact molecules (the blue - red bonded species that haven't fully dissociated) along with some dissociated ions ($\ce{NO_2^-}$ and $\ce{H^+}$). A strong electrolyte would fully dissociate into ions with no (or negligible) intact molecules, and a non - electrolyte doesn't dissociate into ions. Since there are both dissociated ions and intact molecules, the substance is a weak electrolyte.
