First of all, this is a stupid question I mean are you in 1st Grade? But yes salt conducts electricity much better than sugar.

Which will conduct electric current aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide dissolved in water?
Aluminium foil and potassium hydroxide in water solution are conductors.
Sugar solution does not conduct electricity because it does not contain?
Answer: A sugar solution does not conduct electricity because it does not contain ions. Sugar is not an electrolyte -- a substance which ionizes when dissolved in water.Answer: Sugar, as a non-electrolyte substance, does not produce ions when dissolved in water. A solution of sugar contains molecules of sucrose, but no ions. The absence of ions in a sugar aqueous solution makes it a non electricity conductor fluid.
Why does a solution of sodium chloride conduct electricity but a sugar solution does not?
In order to conduct electricity a solution needs ions to carry the current. Sodium chloride contains ions, sugar does not.... So, sugar can't conduct electricity. Sugars are held together by covalent bonds...( very strong) Sodium is held together by Ionic bonds..(easily broken) Renee....Nashville State Community College A&P1
Is sugar a non electrolyte?
Non-electrolyte since it does not dissociate in a water.
Will sugar dissolved in water conduct electric currant?
Yes, it will conduct electric current much better than plain water. The sugar molecules in water form a clear solution by ionization facilitating the path of electrons of electric current.

Why does a sugar- water solution not conduct electricity?
Because although sugar dissolves in water, it does not produce ions in solution. Electric current travels through solution by hopping from cation to cation and since sugar produces no cations (or ions of any sort) in solution, the current cannot travel through the solution. Therefore, the solution as a whole does not conduct electricity

Does a solution formed from the dissolving of sugar in water conduct electrcity?
No, because it is not ionic.

What conducts electricity better salt or sugar and why?
Salt (NaCl) is an ionic compound, while sugar (sucrose) is a covalent compound. Because of the way NaCl dissolves in water, it has free roaming electrons that will interact freely with an electric current and can therefore transfer it throughout the solution. Conversely, sucrose molecules are covalently bonded and their electrons are "tied" to each other, preventing them from interacting with an electric current, consequently making a sucrose solution non conductive.
Is sugar a non electrolyte?
Non-electrolyte since it does not dissociate in a water.
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 sugar in solid form conduct electricity?
well technically anything can conduct electricity..... but that doesnt mean it will be easier because of higher and lower resistances.
