In experiment 1, the table sugar reacted and undergoes a chemical change when heated with flame compared with table salt because: I. Table sugar has a larger molecular weight than table salt. II. The covalent bond in sugar is weaker than the ionic bond of table salt.     III. Table sugar has oxygen atoms making it an easily oxidizable compound.
