Compounds that do not conduct an electric current in either aqueous solution or when molten are referred to as _____.

Aelectrolyte
Bnonelectrolyte
Cnot listed
Dionic

Verified Answer :

The answer is B. Nonelectrolyte. Nonelectrolytes are substances that do not dissociate into ions when dissolved in a solution. In some cases, they dissociate into molecules rather than ions. They are usually polar covalent substances such as sucrose (C12H22O11). Nonelectrolytes are considered to be poor conductors of electricity.
