When sugar is added to water, the correct response is that the sugar molecule **does not separate into ions** but **has an attraction to the water molecules**.
Sugar (sucrose) dissolves in water through a process called solvation, where water molecules surround the sugar molecules and help them disperse in the solution, but the sugar molecules remain intact instead of breaking down into ions like some other solutes (e.g., salts).
