Designate each of the following compounds as a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte or nonelectrolyte:
(a) kBr (b) NH4Cl
(c) CH3NH2 (d) HCN
(e) CO2 (f) NaC2H3O2
(g) HCOOH (h)HClO4
(i) C6H12 (j) CaO
(k) NaOH (l) CH3COCH3
(m) CH3CH2OH (n) SO2
(o)NH4C2H2O2 (p) CH3OCH3
(q) CH3CH2CO2CH3 (r) MgI2
(s) HF (t) CH3CH2Cl
I an working on this question. Any chemistry help will be accepted.

Re: Find out strong, weak electrolyte or non-electrolyte
Do you have any own ideas?

Strong electrolytes:(a) KBr (b) NH4Cl (f) NaC2H3O2 (h) HClO4 (j)CaO (k) NaOH (o) NH4C2H3O2(r)MgI2
Weak electrolytes: (c)CH3NH2 (d)HCN (e)CO2 (g)HCOOH (n) SO2 (s) HF
Non-electrolytes: (i) C6H12 (l) CH3COCH3 (m) CH3CH2OH (p) CH3OCH3 (q) CH3CH2CO2CH3 (t)CH3CH2Cl
I am doubtful about (q). It is a 2- Methyl- Propionic Acid (weak acid). So it may be weak electrolyte also. What is your opinion about (q)?

Re: Find out strong electrolyte , weak electrolyte or non-electrolyte
According the formula CH3CH2CO2CH3 it is not 2- Methylpropionic acid. It is Propionic acid methylester. This is a solvent and a non electrolyte.
2-Methylpropionic acid would be ( CH3)2CH-COOH
2-Methylpropionic acid would be ( CH3)2CH-COOH
