Question:

The solution of sugar in water contains:

Options:

Free ions

Free atoms

Free molecules

Free atoms and molecules

Correct Answer:

Free molecules

Explanation:

The solution of sugar in water contains free molecules. When sugar (sucrose) is dissolved in water, the sugar molecules disperse throughout the water. In a sugar-water solution, the sugar molecules are not dissociated into individual ions or atoms. Instead, they exist as individual sugar molecules that are free to move and interact with the water molecules. Therefore, the correct answer is (3) Free molecules.
