Sugar has many polar covalent bonds, in the C-O-H groups, and the molecules of sugar fit easily into the hydrogen bonded microstructure of liquid water.

Are covalent molecular compounds soluble?

Solubility of a substance in water depends on the type of interaction predominates in the compound and the solvent.The solubility of any compound follows the principle "like dissolves like".So if a covalent molecular compound is polar then it dissolves in a polar solvent and if it is non polar or hydrophobic then it dissolves in a nonpolar solvent


Why are covalent compounds soluble in water?

The polar covalent compounds are easily soluble in water as HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, Glucose and most of the sugars, Sugar has many polar covalent bonds, in the C-O-H groups, and the molecules of sugar fit easily into the hydrogen bonded microstructure of liquid water.

Does sugar solution have dissolved ions in it?

A sugar solution does not contain dissolved ions because sugar (sucrose) is a covalent compound that dissolves in water as whole molecules rather than dissociating into ions. When sugar dissolves, it forms a homogeneous mixture with water, but it does not contribute any ions to the solution. In contrast, ionic compounds like salt dissociate into ions when dissolved.
