Sugar is not an ionic molecule.
Fructose is a molecular compound. It is a simple sugar made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms and does not dissociate into ions in solution.
The components of ionic solids are held together by ionic bonds and when dissolved in a polar solvent (like water) they will dissociate into ions. For example, salt (NaCl) dissolves into Na+ and Cl-. A molecular solid like sugar, however, is held together by stronger covalent bonds and will remain the in the solvent as a whole molecule.
Table sugar is a molecular compound. Ionic compounds are in general formed between a metal and a nonmetal. The exceptions are polyatomic ions that can also form ionic compounds, like ammonium or hydronium. Table salt (sodium chloride) is an example of a common ionic compound.
Molecular compounds are commonly formed by hydrogen. Look at sugar: C6H12O6 Look at natural hydrogen compounds: H2 I'm sure under certain circumstances hydrogen may form an ionic compound with other elements, but you will never find it in nature. On the contrary--acids are ionic compounds and most release a proton (H+) to the aqueous solution.
Non-electrolyte since it does not dissociate in a water.

Sugar water is a covalent mixture because sugar (sucrose) is a covalent compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, while water (H2O) is also a covalent compound. This means the bonds in sugar water involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

No, because it is not ionic.
C6h12o6
because the inter molecular bonds in sugar are very weaker, where as salt will be haaving strong ionic bonds.

Aqueous [note spelling] solutions of ionic compounds conduct electricity, but aqueous solutions of molecular compounds do not, unless the molecular compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved. Sugar, acetone, ethanol, and methanol, for example, do not dissociate, but acetic acid does.
Actually, it would be considered either ionic or covalent. Ionic substances are good electrical conductors, because they can easily disperse into their ions once put into a solution, as with covalent polar substances. Covalent nonpolar substances have no electrical conductivity. Hope this helps. :)

Molecular compounds are charge neutral. Molecular compounds dissolve in water as individual molecules. For example if 1.0g of C12H22011 (sucrose or table sugar) dissolves in water the solid will become many individual C12H22011 molecules floating in water but will remain charge neutral. Therefore, this solution does not conduct electricity. This is known as a nonelectrolyte solution. On the other hand, when ionic compounds, like NaCl (table salt), are dissolved in solution they break up into individual ions. In this case Na+ and Cl-. These ions with their respective charges make the solution electrically conductive. This is called an electrolyte solution.
