Answer
Potassium hydroxide
Reason — When dissolved in water, a strong electrolyte entirely dissociates into ions, making it an excellent electrical conductor.
| Compound | Type | Electrolyte strength | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol | Covalent compound | Non-electrolyte | Does not ionize in water |
| Potassium hydroxide | Ionic compound (Strong base) | Strong electrolyte | Completely dissociates into K+ and OH- in water |
| Ammonium hydroxide | Weak base | Weak electrolyte | Partially ionizes in water |
| Glucose | Covalent organic compound | Non-electrolyte | Dissolves but does not form ions in water |
