Based on your statement and review of the U4L5 lesson, you can conclude that:

  • a sugar molecule is made up of non-metals and salt is made up of a metal and non-metal
  • sugar is a covalent compound, salt is an ionic compound

These conclusions are consistent with the typical classifications of sugar (a covalent compound made of nonmetals) and salt (an ionic compound made of a metal and a non-metal).

The other options regarding the nature of salt and sugar as conductors are not accurate; typically, sugar is not a conductor of electricity, while salt (when dissolved in water) does conduct electricity due to its ionization.
