Solution

Dear student,

Minral acids are polar or ionic in nature which dissociate in water on dissolving in it , while glucose and sugar are non polar covalent compound which could not dissociate in water on dissolving in it .
Now after dissociation in water the ions ( cations and anions ) start moving on passing current and conduct electricity .
