Covalent solutes are considered non-electrolytes. What does this mean for the conductivity of the solution?

Question

Responses
A Non-electrolytes dissolve and completely dissociate in water providing charged ions to conduct electricity.Non-electrolytes dissolve and completely dissociate in water providing charged ions to conduct electricity.
B Non-electrolytes dissolve and do not dissociate in water providing no charged ions to conduct electricity.Non-electrolytes dissolve and do not dissociate in water providing no charged ions to conduct electricity.
C Being a non-electrolyte refers the type of bonding and has no bearing on conducting electricity.Being a non-electrolyte refers the type of bonding and has no bearing on conducting electricity.
D Non-electrolytes do not dissolve in water and can not conduct electricity.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

B Non-electrolytes dissolve and do not dissociate in water providing no charged ions to conduct electricity.

Non-electrolytes, such as covalent solutes, do dissolve in water but do not break apart into ions. As a result, they do not produce the charged particles necessary for conducting electricity in solution.
