Question: When you dissolve sugar in water, the resulting solution would have low/no conductivity because sugar is not an electrolyte and dissolves as uncharged individual sugar

When you dissolve sugar in water, the resulting solution would have low/no conductivity because sugar is not an electrolyte and dissolves as uncharged individual sugar molecules. Table salt, NaCl, however, is a strong electrolyte since it completely dissolves into charged species, Na+ and Cl-. When dissolved in water, which solution would have the highest conductivity and why: KCl, MgCl2, or Na3PO4?
