For a fluid to conduct electricity, it must contain ions. Ions carry electrons through the fluid, making the fluid a conductor.
Sugar (C6H12O6) does not conduct electricity because the molecule is non-polar. When it is mixed with water, no ions are formed because water, a polar molecule, will not dissolve this compound by the principle "like dissolves like". Because there are no ions in this mixture, sugar will not conduct electricity.

Can molten sugar conduct electricity?
Yes any liquid can
Why does a sugar- water solution not conduct electricity?
Because although sugar dissolves in water, it does not produce ions in solution. Electric current travels through solution by hopping from cation to cation and since sugar produces no cations (or ions of any sort) in solution, the current cannot travel through the solution. Therefore, the solution as a whole does not conduct electricity
Why does sugar stay when tea dissolves?
tea doesnt dissolve its the sugar that does
What conducts electricity better salt or sugar and why?
Salt (NaCl) is an ionic compound, while sugar (sucrose) is a covalent compound. Because of the way NaCl dissolves in water, it has free roaming electrons that will interact freely with an electric current and can therefore transfer it throughout the solution. Conversely, sucrose molecules are covalently bonded and their electrons are "tied" to each other, preventing them from interacting with an electric current, consequently making a sucrose solution non conductive.
What happens when you take the heat away from sugar?
it doesnt get hot
Does molten sugar conduct electricity?
It does not conduct electricity
Does sugar in solid form conduct electricity?
well technically anything can conduct electricity..... but that doesnt mean it will be easier because of higher and lower resistances.
Does sugar conduct electricity why?
No, sugar does not conduct electricity because it can not ionize, so it does not carry a charge.(in the matter of dissolving it in water!)
Does methanol conduct electricity?
No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.
Do solid nac2h3o2 and sugar crystals conduct electricity?
no, you need moving changed particles to conduct electricity
Should sugar conduct electricity?
I don't know about what "should" happen, I only know what does happen, which is that sugar does not conduct electricity to any significant degree.
Can sugar mixed with water conduct electricity?
Yes
Why doesn't sugar and wax conduct electricity?
because wax does not have free electrons hence can not conduct electricity in solid state
Can molten sugar conduct electricity?
Yes any liquid can
Can you make electricity using energy drinks?
Nope. Sugar water doesn't carry or conduct electricity.
Does pure water conduct any electricity at all?
No, pure water does not conduct electricity because there are no other solutions present. For the water to conduct electricity, there has to be an electrolyte. Salt water, Tap water, and sugar water do conduct a little electricity because they contain soluble ionic compounds.
Sugar solution does not conduct electricity because it does not contain?
Answer: A sugar solution does not conduct electricity because it does not contain ions. Sugar is not an electrolyte -- a substance which ionizes when dissolved in water.Answer: Sugar, as a non-electrolyte substance, does not produce ions when dissolved in water. A solution of sugar contains molecules of sucrose, but no ions. The absence of ions in a sugar aqueous solution makes it a non electricity conductor fluid.
