Electrolytes and Non Electrolytes

Check us out at http://www.tutorvista.com//videos
Electrolyte: a solution that conducts electricity
Acids, bases and salts in solution are all examples of electrolytes.
Non-electrolyte: a solution that does not conduct electricity
The positive ions found in electrolytes accept electrons and the negative ions
return them to the circuit. Above:
Na+1 + 1e Na
2 Cl-1 Cl2 + 2e
2. From the point of view of physical properties, what do electrolytes have in
common? Non-electrolytes?
Electrolytes and non electrolytes both interfere with the boiling and freezing of
water. Thus they lower the freezing point of water and elevate its boiling point.
3. What chemical properties do electrolytes share? Non-electrolytes?
Electrolytes react quickly because their reactions involve the simple
breaking and reforming of ionic bonds. Generally non electrolytes react more
slowly because their reactions involve covalent bonds, which are harder to break
and reform

so when I see a substance how can I tell if it's a nonelectrolyte or weak electrolyte??
