The three definitions are listed in the explanation.

Explanation:

A nonelectrolyte is a molecular compound that does not consist of ions hence it does not dissociate into ions in solution.

A weak electrolyte is a soluble ionic compound that dissociates only to very small extent into ions in solution.

A strong electrolyte is a soluble ionic compound that dissociates completely into ions when dissolved in water.
