Why do potassium chloride & glucose dissolve in H2O but ONLY potassium chloride is considered an electrolyte?

If you can, can you discuss the electronegativity, ionic bonds, covalant bonds, solvation, intermolecular, and intramolecular bonds.

Dont really have to worry about all that. Electrolyte means it dissociates in solution. Glucose is soluble in H2O but does not break down into ions like KCl. In solution KCl becomes K+ and Cl- where glucose stays as glucose.
