Question

A sugar solution is a better conductor of electricity when compared to a salt solution.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

A solution can conduct electricity when it has ions which act as charge carriers. When sugar is added to water, it does not produce ions to facilitate electrical conductivity. On the other hand, a salt solution has ions to conduct electricity. So, a sugar solution is a poor conductor as compared to a salt solution.
