Salt starts off as a compound, as it dissolves in ions, which always happens. Sugar, known as covalent, is bonded because they share electrons and stays together in compounds.
How do ionic compounds dissolve in water?
Ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents, especially water. this happens when the positive cation from the ionic solid is attracted to the negative end of the water molecule (oxygen) and the negative anion of the ionic solid is attracted to the positive end of the water molecule (hydrogen)
Why do salt and sugar dissolve differently in water?
The polar water molecules attract the oppositely charged polar areas of the sucrose molecules and pull them away, leading to dissolving. Since the ions in salt and therefore the molecules bin sugar are very different, their solubilities tend to vary .
