Answer
A sucrose molecule is a compound molecule of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. The sucrose molecule has both non-polar covalent bonds and polar O-H bonds. Water also has polar O-H bonds. The water O-H bonds are slightly more polar than the sucrose bond and so can pull off ions from the sugar molecule thus dissolving the sugar crystals
Work Step by Step
Sucrose or table sugar is made up of glucose and fructose. Each sucrose molecules have 12 carbon atoms, 22 Hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms. The the O-H bonds in sucrose are non-polar with the hydrogen ends being slightly positive and the oxygen ends of the bond being slightly negative. Water also has O-H bonds which are polar, . The positive ends of the water molecule attach to the negative end of the sucrose molecule.. Because the water O-H bonds are slightly more polar than the O-H bond on the sucrose molecule, the water molecules are able to draw of an separate the molecules of the sucrose crystals. This results in solution of the sucrose . Further, the water molecules surround the separated sucrose molecules making it difficult for them to reform keeping them in solution
