No, sugar does not conduct electricity because it can not ionize, so it does not carry a charge.(in the matter of dissolving it in water!)

Does molten sugar conduct electricity?

Yes, molten sugar can conduct electricity. When sugar is melted, it breaks down into its constituent molecules, which can carry an electric charge and allow for the flow of electricity. However, molten sugar is not a strong conductor of electricity compared to metals or other materials.


Should sugar conduct electricity?

I don't know about what "should" happen, I only know what does happen, which is that sugar does not conduct electricity to any significant degree.


Why doesn't sugar and wax conduct electricity?

because wax does not have free electrons hence can not conduct electricity in solid state


Why doesn't sugar placed in water conduct electricity?

For a fluid to conduct electricity, it must contain ions. Ions carry electrons through the fluid, making the fluid a conductor. Sugar (C6H12O6) does not conduct electricity because the molecule is non-polar. When it is mixed with water, no ions are formed because water, a polar molecule, will not dissolve this compound by the principle "like dissolves like". Because there are no ions in this mixture, sugar will not conduct electricity.


Does methanol conduct electricity?

No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.


Does sugar in solid form conduct electricity?

No, sugar in solid form does not conduct electricity because it does not contain free ions or electrons to facilitate the flow of electric current. Sugar is a non-electrolyte, meaning it does not ionize in water to produce charged particles needed for conducting electricity.


Can sugar mixed with water conduct electricity?

Yes, sugar mixed with water can conduct electricity. However, it is not as effective of a conductor as saltwater because sugar molecules are larger and less mobile than salt ions.


What compound dissolves in water but does not conduct electricity?

Sugar is a compound that dissolves in water but does not conduct electricity. When sugar dissolves in water, it forms a solution, but it does not dissociate into ions that can carry an electric current.


Is sugar solution in distilled water a conductor of electricity?

No, sugar solution in distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because sugar does not ionize in water to produce charged particles that can conduct electricity.


Can you make electricity using energy drinks?

Nope. Sugar water doesn't carry or conduct electricity.


Does pure water conduct any electricity at all?

No, pure water does not conduct electricity because there are no other solutions present. For the water to conduct electricity, there has to be an electrolyte. Salt water, Tap water, and sugar water do conduct a little electricity because they contain soluble ionic compounds.


Which substances aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide will conduct electric current dissolved in water?

Potassium hydroxide will conduct electric current when dissolved in water due to the presence of ions that allow the flow of electricity. Aluminum foil will not conduct electricity in water as it is a metal and does not dissolve into ions. Sugar is a non-electrolyte and will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
