Electrolytes.....
CH3CH2CH2OH ..... nonelectrolyte
CuCO3 .... nonelectrolyte ... reacts with water to make solid Cu2CO3(OH)2 and CO2 gas
HClO .... weak electrolyte / acid
HClO3 ..... borderline weak electrolyte / acid
LiClO4 ..... strong electrolyte .... ionizes completely
C12H22O11 ..... nonelectrolyte
