Sugar does not dissolve in water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Sugar dissolves in water because the slightly polar sucrose molecules establish intermolecular interactions with the polar water molecules, which releases energy.
The negative and positive regions on the polar sucrose molecules are attracted by the polar water molecules, causing sucrose to dissolve in water.
Because the ions in salt and the molecules in sugar are so dissimilar, their solubilities are also dissimilar.
