Answer:

Carbon tetrachloride

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrolytes are ionic compounds. They dissociate in water to form ions. Here the ionic solids hence electrolytes are as follows:

Copper chloride

CuCl₂ → Cu²⁺ + Cl⁻

Sodium bromide

NaBr → Na⁺ + Br⁻

Magnesium sulfate

MgSO₄ → Mg²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Carbon tetrachloride, CCl₄ is a covalent compound. It does not dissolve in water to form ions. Thus it is the only non-electrolyte.
