Shreya1001: calcium ion and NO3-ion form this compound. When you dissolve it in the water it splits into calcium ion and NO3- ion. So it is a strong electrolyte

Answer: The correct answer is Yes.

Explanation:

A strong electrolyte is defined as an electrolyte which gets completely dissociated into its respective ions.

A weak electrolyte is defined as an electrolyte which does not gets completely dissociated into its respective ions.

Calcium nitrate is a strong electrolyte because it gets completely dissociated into its respective ions. The equation for the dissociation of $Ca(NO_3)_2$ is given by the reaction:

$Ca(NO_3)_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2NO_3^-$

Hence, the correct answer is Yes.
