Which is a characteristic of a nonelectrolyte?

AIt does not dissociate or ionize in water.
BIt partially dissociates or ionizes in water.
CIt conducts electricity poorly.
DIt conducts electricity extremely well.

Verified Answer :

It is A on edge test

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-electrolytes are the substances which do not dissociate into a solution or water to form ions.

Since, non-electrolytes do not dissociate into ions. Hence, they do conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that it does not dissociate or ionize in water is a characteristic of a non-electrolyte.

Non-electrolytes are neither partially ionizable nor do they conduct electricity poorly. Therefore, out of the given options, only option (A) is the correct answer.
