Select the correct word from the list in the brackets for the following statement :
Which of the following is a weak electrolyte ________. [lead chloride/lead nitrate/lead acetate]

Solution

Lead acetate is a weak electrolyte because it is a covalent compound.
As lead chloride and lead nitrate readily form ions in aqueous solution due to ionic bond present in it.
Whereas, covalent compound is usually partly soluble in water and do not form ions readily.
Hence, lead acetate is a weak electrolyte
