Which compound, when dissolved in water, conducts electricity and forms a basic solution ?

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base that dissociates completely into sodium (Na+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions when dissolved in water. This complete ionization makes it a strong electrolyte, allowing the solution to conduct electricity effectively. Furthermore, the production of hydroxide ions (OH-) results in a basic solution with a pH greater than 7. In contrast, Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Acetic acid (CH3COOH) are electrolytes but form acidic solutions. Methanol (CH3OH) is a nonelectrolyte; while it may dissolve in water, it does not ionize and therefore does not conduct electricity. Thus, only NaOH satisfies both conditions of being an electrolyte and forming a basic solution in an aqueous environment.
