Does Salt Dissolve in Water Faster Than Sugar?

Salt is a compound of sodium and chloride, and the molecular ionic bond that joins these particles together is very strong. Table sugar is composed of glucose and fructose molecules, but the positive-negative bond is weaker between these components. When dissolved, sugar molecules have more opportunities to bond with positive-negative water molecules. Therefore, sugar dissolves faster than salt, because its component molecules are more soluble in water.
