Acompound that does not conduct an electric current in aqueous solution is known as a(n) a) ion. b) saturate. c) dissociate. d) nonelectrolyte.

Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a substance dissolved in water dissociates into ions then the resulting solution is known as an electrolyte.

As electric current is the flow of electric charges therefore, a solution or substance having ions is able to conduct electric current.

Whereas a solution which does not contain any ions is known as a non-electrolyte.

A saturate is a solution which contains maximum amount of solute. A saturated solution is also able to conduct electricity. Similarly, a dissociate will lead to the formation of ions into a solution.

Hence, a dissociate is also able to conduct electric current.

Thus, we can conclude that a compound that does NOT conduct an electric current in aqueous solution is known as a non-electrolyte.
