Explanation:
We classify the behaviours of electrolytes based on their electrolytic conduction. This is what makes them breaks down when in aqueous solutions with water.
A strong electrolyte is one that ionize completely when in aqueous solutions. Their ionization can be shown below using appropriate chemical notation:
An example of a strong electrolyte is NaCl:
NaCl → Na⁺
+ Cl⁻
Such reactions have a single forward arrow. Since they ionize complete, they have a large amoung of ions present in their aqueous form and would readily conduct.
A weak electrolyte is made up of compounds that ionize partially or slightly in their aqueous solution. The amount of ions produced per mole of compounds is relatively small compared to those of strong electrolytes. Examples ae organic acids, weak bases, and water. This ionization is shown below for methanoic acid:
HCOOH ⇄ HCOO⁻
+ H⁺
This sort of reaction is an equilibrium reaction. This is why we have the double arrow.
None electrolytes do not ionize at all in aqueous solutions and they produce no ions.

Explanation:
Ibuprofen is a chiral compound. 'Chiral' means that it has the ability to rotate plane polarised light owing to the presence of an asymmetrically substituted carbon atom. There are two known stereoisomers of the compound; the S- stereoisomer and the R-stereoisomer. The both are shown using wedge and dash perspectives in the image attached.
Only the S- stereoisomer is active as a drug. The R-stereoisomer is gradually converted into the S-stereoisomer in the body. The drug may also be given as a racemic mixture.
