: how does sugar smell, what color is sugar, what phase (solid, liquid, or gas) does sugar
occur in, and is sugar poisonous or not. Is sugar used for anything in its elemental form?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Pure sugar (chemical name - sucrose ) does not have any smell.Only those substances that are relatively volatile or unstable have smell at normal temperature.

Sugar is naturally white. It takes some refining to get the brown colour. But the brown also gives flavor, which is why there are things like brown sugar. But if we asked about its natural colour then it is already in white colour only. 

Sugar is clearly a solid ,which is white crystalline substance.
