Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key terms: A solvent is the substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution, but it does not necessarily form ions.
A colloid is a mixture where small particles are dispersed throughout a solvent but do not dissolve to form ions.
A non-electrolyte is a substance that dissolves in water but does not produce ions, so it does not conduct electricity.
An electrolyte is a substance that, when dissolved in water, dissociates into ions and thus can conduct electricity.
Therefore, the term that describes a substance forming ions in water is 'electrolyte'.
