Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Type of Compound for HCl

HCl dissociates completely in water to form \( \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+} \) and \( \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \). This indicates that HCl is an ionic compound and a strong acid.

Step 2: Identify the Type of Compound for KOH

KOH dissociates completely in water to form \( \mathrm{K}^{+} \) and \( \mathrm{OH}^{-} \). This indicates that KOH is an ionic compound and a strong base.

Step 3: Identify the Type of Compound for \( \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \)

\( \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \) (ethylamine) partially dissociates in water to form \( \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}_{3}^{+} \) and \( \mathrm{OH}^{-} \). This indicates that \( \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \) is a molecular compound and a weak base.
