Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

The sugar glucose is a covalent compound. When sugar dissolves in water, it forms individual glucose molecules (C 6 H 12 O 6 ). You can see how this happens in the Figure below . Sugar is polar like water, so sugar molecules also have positive and negative ends. Forces of attraction between oppositely charged ends of water and sugar molecules pull individual sugar molecules away from the sugar crystal. Little by little, the sugar molecules are separated from the crystal and surrounded by water. You can watch this happening in the video at the following URL: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=hydUVGUbyvU.
