Final answer:

Dextrose, being a type of sugar, is classified as a non-electrolyte as it does not produce ions and does not conduct electricity.

Step-by-step explanation:

A nonelectrolyte is a compound that does not conduct an electric current in either aqueous solution or in the molten state. Many molecular compounds, such as sugar or ethanol, are nonelectrolytes. When these compounds dissolve in water, they do not produce ions.

Dextrose, which is the biologically relevant isomer of glucose, is a type of sugar and therefore a nonelectrolyte. When dextrose dissolves in water, it does not produce ions and does not conduct electricity.
