    An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution.

    An electrolyte is a compound which breaks up into ions when dissolved in water or when in molten form.

    A strong acid is one that ionizes almost completely ion aqueous solution.

    To make a strong electrolyte, there must be presence of ions from compounds that ionizes completely in aqueous solution or in molten form to give free mobile ions. This is why strong acids are very strong electrolytes too.

    2. Other examples of strong electrolytes are mineral acids, caustic alkalis and salts because they also ionize completely in aqueous solutions. Any compoud that ionizes completely in aqueous solution will produce a strong electrolyte.
