electrolytes

In solution electric current is carried by charged particles (ions). Electrolytes are substances that dissociate or ionize in solution to give cations and anions that move under an electric field. Neutral atoms or molecules do not conduct unless they become ions. (Examples: NaCl, HCl are strong electrolytes; acetic acid is a weak electrolyte.)
