First of all, solid sucrose (pure sugar) is not a conductor. It is an insulator just as many other materials. But, the question is most often posed when it is combined with water and one finds that dissolved sucrose and dissolved salt create solutions with very different electrical properties. The difference derives from the fact that salts dissolve in the form of ions and sucrose dissolves in the form of molecules that do not have charge.
Conductivity in solutions is different than conductivity in a wire or other metal object. In metals, electrons move when a voltage is applied and only electrons.
In water, the application of a voltage results in the movement of charge, but the charges are not nearly-free electrons but rather ions (charged atoms or molecules). In pure water, the ions that are moving are the protons in the form of H3O+ and hydroxide ions, OH-. In other ionic solutions it is the dissolved ions themselves, for instance in salt water, sodium chloride dissociated into the ions Na+ and Cl-.
Sucrose and water form a "non-ionic solution." Sucrose and other materials can dissolve in water and not be broken into charged pieces the way salts are. (If the solute is broken into charged pieces, then it forms an "ionic solution.") If the molecules in solution remain in tact and are not charged then they are not affected by the electric field (force equals charge times the strength of the field) that is created in the solution when the voltage is applied.
It should be said that pure water has a very small conductivity, so small that it is sometimes said that pure water does not conduct electricity. The ionic movement in pure water is just very small, but impurities, such as present in tap water, or salt increases the conductivity a great deal.
Caveat: This brief explanation covers the essential phenomena that one learns in a beginning chemistry class, but eventually one can encounter more complex situations with conducting liquids, e.g. molten salt conducts via ions and Mercury conducts via electrons. You are pretty safe with the simple explanation when it comes to things dissolved in water.
What else can I help you with?
What compound is a nonelectrolyte?
Sugars are non-electrolytic. Sugars are water-soluble because they contain hydroxyl groups, which is compatible with water; however, with no ions in solution, electricity cannot conduct.
Why salt and vetsin can conduct electricity in a solution?
Salt (sodium chloride) dissociates into ions (sodium and chloride) in water, allowing it to conduct electricity. Vetsin (monosodium glutamate) likely contains ions that can also dissociate in water, enabling it to conduct electricity in a solution.
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.
Will the solution of potassium chloride and water conduct electricity or not explain?
Yes, a solution of potassium chloride and water will conduct electricity. When potassium chloride (an electrolyte) dissolves in water, it dissociates into potassium ions and chloride ions which can carry electric current.
Does Sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water conduct electricity?
Yes it does conduct electricity. Since the ions are broken up by the water solution, it is able to conduct electricity. In it's dried solid form the ions are too close together, for the sodium bicarbonate to be a conductor.

Would conduct electricity mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
Nacl does the solution conduct electricity?
A solution of NaCl in a solvent in which the cations and anions separate, for example in water, can conduct electricity.
When ions are formed in water the solution has the ability to conduct what?
electricity

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.
What does sodium chloride conduct?
Sodium chloride conduct electricity only when is as an electrolyte: in water solution or melted.
If the substance dissolves in water but the solution does not conduct electricity is the substance an ionic compound?
No.
Do sodium chloride conduct electricity in soluble?
Yes, in water solution or when is melted.
Will the solution of potassium chloride and water conduct electricity or not explain?
Yes, a solution of potassium chloride and water will conduct electricity. When potassium chloride (an electrolyte) dissolves in water, it dissociates into potassium ions and chloride ions which can carry electric current.
Why can a solution of salt water conduct electricity but a solid salt cannot?
Water is a better conductor.
Does Sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water conduct electricity?
Yes it does conduct electricity. Since the ions are broken up by the water solution, it is able to conduct electricity. In it's dried solid form the ions are too close together, for the sodium bicarbonate to be a conductor.
