For the properties of sugar, it is most likely a:

  • Covalent substance

Sugar (sucrose) is a covalent compound that does not conduct electricity when dissolved in water because it does not dissociate into ions.

For the properties of salt (sodium chloride), it is most likely an:

  • Ionic substance

Salt is an ionic compound that dissociates into ions when dissolved in water, which allows it to conduct electricity.
