Water can be dissociated into its constituents, hydrogen and oxygen, through a process called electrolysis. When an electric current is passed through water, it causes the water molecules to split into hydrogen gas at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode. This process requires an electrolyte to conduct the electricity and two electrodes to facilitate the reaction.

Which of the following types of bonds can be dissociated by water?

Ionic bonds can be dissociated by water because the polar nature of water molecules allows them to surround and pull apart ions in an ionic compound. Covalent bonds, on the other hand, are not typically dissociated by water.

When salt or sugar is dissolved in water why is salt an eletrolyte and sugar is not?

Sugar is a covalent compound and doesn't separate into ionic constituents in water. Salt is an ionic compound and the constituent ions in the solid are held in place by electrostatic attraction. In water, the ions of the salt dissociate and disperse into the sugar/water matrix. These dissociated ions then support electric current.
