Hello. And this problem we are asked to refer to the legend shown below identify whether each given molecule is a non electrolyte, a weak electrolyte or a strong electrolyte. The first molecule then we're given we have chlorine in the center shown in green. It is bound to four oxygen's and one of those oxygen's is bound to a hydrogen. This is the structure for perk Lorik acid. For coric acid is a strong acid, which means that it will dissociate completely to for mines and solution. So it is a strong electrolyte. The next one we have carbon which has three hydrogen attached. The carbon is bound to another carbon which has two oxygen's attached and to one of the oxygen we have hydrogen. This is acetic acid which is found in vinegar. This is a weak acid which means it will only disassociate to a limited extent. And this is a weak electrolyte And our last one we have carbon Bound three hydrogen carbon is also bound to an oxygen which is bound to a hydrogen. This is an O. H. Group. So this is an alcohol. This is called methanol alcohol. Do not dissociate to form ions in solution. There are non electrolytes. So our 1st 1 there's a strong acid, it's a strong electrolyte. The second one is a weak acid, it's a weak electrolyte and the third one is an alcohol. It's a non electrolyte. This corresponds to answer D Thanks for watching. Hope This helped
