Question

Why sugar is readily dissolve in water inspite of its covalent nature

Answer 1

heya......

Covalent bonds do not dissolve in water, but some covalent compounds do.

Covalent molecules are attracted to each other by various intermolecular forces such as H-bonds, dipole-dipole forces, and London dispersion forces. Water molecules are attracted to each other by strong H-bonds.

Sugar and ethanol are covalent compounds that are soluble in water, because they contain O-H groups that can H-bond to the water
