Hi everyone here we have a question telling us that the following diagram showed three binary sulfur compounds. And our goal here is to identify the substance in each diagram as a non electrolyte, a weak electrolyte or a strong electrolyte. So let's look at a. We have sulfur and sodium and as we can see, the compound is completely dissociated into its ion. So it is a strong electrolyte. Now let's look at B. We can see that only a fraction is dissociated. While most molecules are not dissociated, this makes be a weak electrolyte. And lastly we have c none of the molecules are dissociated into their eye on, so it is a non electrolyte. So these are our final answers. Thank you for watching. Bye.
