1 answer

When sugar is added to water, the sugar molecules:

  • Do not separate into ions (this is true for most sugars as they do not ionize in solution)
  • Have an attraction to the water molecules (this is also true, as sugar molecules are polar and form hydrogen bonds with water)

Therefore, the correct statement about sugar in water is that it does not separate into ions and has an attraction to the water molecules.
