CHEMISRY problem I really need help :)

Question

Which of the following will not conduct electricity when dissolved in water: NaCl, NaOH, HCl, C6H12O6

A) C6H12O6

B) NaCI

C) NaOH

D) HCI

Answer 1

A) C6H12O6 will not conduct a current

To conduct a current, the solute must dissociate or ionize to produce positive and negative charges in solution. C6H12O6 (glucose) is a molecular compound (not ionic), and does not produce ions when dissolved in water. All the others will produce ions when dissolved in water and will conduct a current (they are known as electrolytes).
