sodium chloride and sucrose do not dissociate into ions

sucrose dissociates into ions and the sodium chloride does not
sucrose dissociates into ions and the sodium chloride does not

sodium chloride dissociates into ions and the sucrose does not
sodium chloride dissociates into ions and the sucrose does not

sodium chloride and sucrose both dissociate into ions

Answer 1

The correct response is:

sodium chloride dissociates into ions and the sucrose does not.

When sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to water, it dissociates into sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻). In contrast, sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) does not dissociate into ions; it dissolves in water as whole molecules.
