Solution

Acetic acid doesn’t dissociate to form ions, so it is a non-ionic compound.

Hydrochloric acid is also a non-ionic compound.

Sodium hydroxide dissociate into sodium and hydroxide ions and therefore, it is an ionic compound.

Sugar is a non-ionic compound as it does not get dissociated into ions.

Compounds Nature

Acetic acid Non-ionic

Hydrochloric acid Non-ionic
