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 metallic bonds. it is made up of atoms that are held together by covalent 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 strong ionic bonds.

Explanation:

1. Ionic - bonded substances can conduct electricity in solution or molten state because they dissociate into ions. Since sugar crystals and its solution do not conduct electricity, it is not an ionic - bonded substance.
2. Metallic bonds are in metals, and sugar is not a metal - related substance.
3. Covalent - bonded substances generally do not conduct electricity well because they do not dissociate into charged particles easily. Sugar is made up of atoms held together by covalent bonds.

Answer:

It is made up of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds.
