No sugar is not an electrolyte- it is not because it does not carry the charges and does not have any electricity in it, it remains whole and does not break down like an electrolyte is supposed to. An example of an electrolyte is salt- an Aquous solution of NaCl (Sodium Chloride).

∙ 15y agoElectrolytes are solutions where the solvent has"torn apart" molecules of a solute into ions, and the ions are now mobile in the solution. The mobile ions are free to contribute to the conduction of electricity by the solution. The solution is said to be electrolytic. Sugar dissolves in water, but is only reducted to individual molecules at best. The molecules of sugar (whatever kind of sugar it happens to be - there are several kinds) are "whole" and won't carry charges to support current flow. Table salt ionizes in water to form sodium (Na+) and chlorine (Cl-) ions, which support current flow. Salt is an electrolyte. Sugar is said to not be an electrolyte, and that is why.

There are many, many, many types of sugar. We commonly think of sucrose, which is a combination of fructose and glucose, as sugar. Sugar, when dissolved, does not break up into individual ionic components. Glucose and fructose are generally not ionic. But they are sweet.

Do water and sugar make an electrolyte solution?
Water sugar solution is not an electrolyte because sugar is not dissociated.
Is sugar a non electrolyte?
Non-electrolyte since it does not dissociate in a water.
Would form would form a non-electrolyte solution in water?
Some examples of a non-electrolyte solution in water would be a solution of sugar, or a solution of urea. These do no ionize in solution and so are non-electrolytes.
Is sugar water an electrolyte or non electrolyte?
Its a non electrolyte.
Does conductivitiy of water change as concentration of sugar change?
No. Sugar solution is not an electrolyte because it has no free charges in the solution to carry the electricity.
Do water and sugar make an electrolyte solution?
Water sugar solution is not an electrolyte because sugar is not dissociated.
Is sugar a non electrolyte?
Non-electrolyte since it does not dissociate in a water.
Which of the folowing would for a nonelectryle solution in water?
Water sugar solution is a non-electrolyte.
What forms a non electrolyte solution in water?

What is an example of a non-electrolyte aqueous solution?
Sugar is an example of a non-electrolyte when it is not dissolved in water.
