Does sugar ionize in water?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether sugar dissociates into ions when it is dissolved in water. It seeks to clarify the behavior of sugar in a solution, particularly if it breaks apart into charged particles.
Answer
No, sugar does not ionize in water.
The final answer is no, sugar does not ionize in water.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is no, sugar does not ionize in water.
More Information
Sugar molecules are covalently bonded, which means they dissolve in water but do not break into ions. This is why sugar solutions do not conduct electricity.
