Question

difference between cunductors and electrolytes

Answer 1

A conductor and electrolyte both conduct electricity.

The word conductor is used to refer to metals (exception carbon, graphite etc) where conduction is effected by the flow of electrons (we speak of the sea of electrons).

Electrolytes on the other hand are liquids in which an ionic salt is dissolved. The process of dissolving necessarily means the splitting of salts into ions. Current flows in the form of these ions.

Answer 2

Conductors are any substance that has the capability of transmitting heat / electricity from one medium to another, regardless of phase.

Electrolytes, chemically, are ionic compounds that, when dissolved in a solvent, dissociates into negative and positive ions, allowing it to conduct electricity . (eg. NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- when dissolved in water)
