Understand that when compounds dissolve in water, they can either ionize completely, partially, or remain mostly as intact molecules depending on their nature (ionic or molecular) and their acid/base strength.
Identify the nature of each compound: Be(OH)\_2 is a metal hydroxide with some covalent character and is only slightly soluble, so it tends to remain mostly as molecules rather than fully dissociating.
HNO\_3 is a strong acid and ionizes completely in water, so it will not be found mostly as molecules but as ions.
LiOH is a strong base and ionic compound that dissociates completely into Li\^+ and OH\^- ions in water.
(CH\_3)\_2NH (dimethylamine) is a weak base and a molecular compound that does not fully ionize in water, so it remains mostly as molecules.
CaO reacts with water to form Ca(OH)\_2, which is ionic and dissociates significantly, so CaO itself would not be found mostly as molecules in water.
