Answer to Question #161037 in Chemistry for Kai

Question

Sucrose, C12H22O11 (table sugar), has a melting point of about 185 °C. It has poor

electrical conductance both as a solid and as a liquid. 

Answer 1

Sucrose does not dissociate and does not release H+ or OH-. All of the bonds in the sucrose molecule are strong covalent bonds. Therefore there are no charged particles present to conduct electricity either in the solid-state or in solution.
