Best Answer

The bond present in Sucrose is a covalent bond because sucrose is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen atoms which are all non-metals that share valence electrons; therefore they bond covalently, so that each atom will achieve a noble-gas configuration.

*Sucrose=C12H22O11

Sugar is a polar covalent bond because it can't conduct electricity in water. It dissolves in water like an ionic bond but doesn't dissolve in hexane. Sugars bonds are also broken apart when a small amount of heat is added.

because if you look at the formula of sugar which is:C6H12O6 you can see that sugars is made from nonmetals element and we knows that covalent bond is forms between nonmetals
