If Pure covalent compounds are not soluble in water so why sugar dissolves in it?

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 sand and rice dissolve water?
It is a mixture but not a true solution.
How do you explain sugar is not ionizable but it dissolves the water?
Sugar is an organic compound, it contains covalent bonds. Things such as salt (NaCl) form ionic bonds, so they can dissociate in water as ions (Na+ Cl-). The solubility of organic compounds have to do with their polarity. Sugar is polar so it will dissolve in a polar solvent such as water. (like dissolves like)
What is sugar soluble in?
...? Did you mean "Is sugar soluble" or "what is the solublity of sugar"? If you meant the first one, then the answer is yes. If you meant the second one, then I am not sure of the exact solubility. Please resubmit the question with beter grammar.
What determines whether a solute is hydropholic or hydrophobic?
What determines a molecule's solubility degree in water is its polarity. Equals dissolve.
Is NaCl is soluble in fructose?
Yes, fructose is the most soluble carbohydrate in water.
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.
Is sugar insoulble?
Sugar is soluble because it dissolves in water.
Does sand and rice dissolve water?
It is a mixture but not a true solution.
What soda dissolves a sugar cube?
Sugar is very soluble in water.
Is sugar suluble in water?
Yes. If it dissolves in water it is soluble. Sugar, salt, soap are all soluble. Try it.
Which dissolves faster in hot water sugar or salt?
Sugar is more soluble.
Do sugar and water mix?
