I cannot find information that gives me a clear answer whether NaBr is an electrolyte or non electrolyte. I have found some information that K2SO4 is an electrolyte, but now I am doubting that. All of my others I have been able to find solid information on, but these two have mixed information and I do not know what to believe. My book is of no assistance. Thanks.

Both K2SO4 and NaBr and strong electrolytes, meaning that they ionize 100%. The K2SO4 ionizes into 2K^+ ions and 1 SO4^-2 ion. The NaBr into Na^+ and Br^-.
