What do you notice that’s different about the conductivity of sugar from the conductivity of salt?

Answer 1

One noticeable difference in conductivity between sugar and salt is that salt is a better conductor of electricity than sugar. This is because salt is an ionic compound, meaning it dissociates into positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions) when dissolved in water. These ions are free to move and can carry electrical current. In contrast, sugar is a covalent compound and does not dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Therefore, it does not conduct electricity as effectively as salt.
