Answer: strong electrolyte.

Justification:

1) Lithium chloride is an ionic compound, highly soluble in water.

2) This is the chemical equation:

LiCl(aq) → Li⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)


3) Due to its ionic character and the small size of the ion Li⁺, LiCl dissociates almost completely, meaning the the solution is a strong electrolyte.

4) Electrolytes are solutions that carry electricity (the iones, charged species, are the carrierr of the electricity)
