Answer 1

The ionic substance between the two tested is **Salt (NaCl)**. NaCl is composed of sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻), which are held together by ionic bonds. On the other hand, C12H22O11 (sucrose or sugar) is a covalent compound, consisting of molecules held together by covalent bonds. Therefore, the correct answer is **Salt**.
