Based on the properties of sugar, you would check the following responses:

  • Covalent substance: Sugar (sucrose) is a covalent compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms bonded together through covalent bonds.

  • Substance that does not conduct electricity: Sugars do not dissociate into ions in solution, so they do not conduct electricity.

You would not check:

  • Substance that breaks apart into ions: This is characteristic of ionic substances.
  • Ionic substance: This refers to compounds that contain ions and typically conduct electricity in solution, which does not apply to sugar.

So, the final checks would be:

  • Covalent substance
  • Substance that does not conduct electricity
