What happens when sugar disolves in water?

First, the sugar dissolves into small sugar molecules, Then fills in the spaces in between the water molecules thus, making Sugar water.

I hope that answered your question and has come to your help.

It also takes energy to break the hydrogen bonds in water that must be disrupted to insert one of these sucrose molecules into solution. Sugar dissolves in water because energy is given off when the slightly polar sucrose molecules form intermolecular bonds with the polar water molecules.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
