Answer:

CuSO4(aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

The aqueous for of CuSO₄ is an electrolyte and it will conduct electricity.

CuSO₄ is an ionic substance and in solid state, it will not have the ability to conduct electricity.

  • In aqueous form, it will contain free mobile ions which serves as carriers of electric current.
  • In the solid state, the ions are arranged into a crystal lattice and will not conduct a current of electricity.
  • The remaining given compounds will not conduct electricity as they are non-polar and do not have free mobile electrons.
