sodium chloride and sucrose both dissociate into ions
sodium chloride and sucrose both dissociate into ions

sodium chloride dissociates into ions and the sucrose does not
sodium chloride dissociates into ions and the sucrose does not

sodium chloride and sucrose do not dissociate into ions

Answer 1

The correct response is:

**sodium chloride dissociates into ions and the sucrose does not.**

In water, sodium chloride (NaCl) dissociates into sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻), whereas sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) does not dissociate into ions; instead, it remains as whole molecules.
