Is an electrolyte that does not completely dissociate (split into ions) in aqueous solution

Real World Example

Imagine trying to get a group of friends to agree on a movie to watch. Just like not everyone in the group agrees on the same movie, a weak electrolyte doesn't completely dissociate into ions in an aqueous solution. In this analogy, the group of friends represents the molecules of the electrolyte, while the disagreement mirrors the incomplete splitting of the molecules into ions—only some "friends" (molecules) decide to "watch the movie" (dissociate into ions), while others remain undecided (stay as molecules).
