Question
sugar is made up of clear, colorless crystals that dissolve easily in water, but the crystals and their solution do not conduct electricity. which statement describes sugar? it is made up of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds. it is made up of atoms that are held together by strong ionic bonds. it is made up of atoms that are held together by weak ionic bonds. it is made up of atoms that are held together by metallic bonds.
La presencia de enlaces iónicos (fuertes o débiles) implica la presencia de iones libres que conducen la electricidad. Los enlaces metálicos también permiten la conducción de electricidad debido a los electrones libres. Sin embargo, el azúcar no conduce electricidad, lo que descarta enlaces iónicos y metálicos. Los compuestos con enlaces covalentes (especialmente covalentes puros) no conducen electricidad ya que no hay iones libres. Además, el azúcar (sacarosa, por ejemplo) es un compuesto molecular con enlaces covalentes entre sus átomos (C, H, O).
