<span>KNO3 is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates into ions in water. Dissociates means it immediately breaks into ions of K+ (potassium cation) and NO3- (nitrate anion). Thus it also conducts electricity very well compared to a weak electrolyte.</span>

Potassium Nitrate is classified as an electrolyte because of its highly conductive nature when dissolved in water.

Explanation

Potassium nitrate represented as KNO3 are ionic bonded compounds.

They are polar substances as the electronegative difference between nitrate and potassium is very high, so they can easily break their bond and dissolve in water easily.

It has large range of applications. It is even used as gun powder, in firecrackers etc,.

As the KNO3 is easily soluble in water and they can form K+ and NO3- ions when dissolved in water.

These ions acts as conducting agents in the water solution so they act as electrolyte.

As electrolytes are the solutions which have the capacity to conduct electrical energy in the electrochemical reactions, the conductive nature of potassium nitrate dissolved in water makes them useful as an electrolyte in salt bridge experiment.

Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by Si and O?
svp [43]
Naming conventions for 2 non-metals like Si and O are based on their valence electrons,  Si has 4 electrons around it and Oxygen has 6, in order for you to satisfy octet (8 electrons around each element) surrounding each Si and O, you need another O,  To name these 2, just write the name of the first element which has less electrons first then the second element to which you use a prefix "di" since it means there are two oxygen, then put the names together and end the name of the second element with "ide" (remove the last 4 letters).
Silicon + "dI" + ox +"ide"
