    Naphtalene is very unlikely to get dissolved in water as it is nonpolar.

    Sucrose is very likely to get dissolved in water as it is polar at the oxygen-to-hydrogen bonds.

    Explanation:

    Hello,

    In this case, naphtalene (C₁₀H₈) is constituted by both carbon-to-carbon and carbon-to-hydrogen bonds only as it is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is highly nonpolar due to the low-polarity of the C-H bond, therefore, it is very unlikely to get dissolved in water. On the other hand, sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) has oxygen-to-hydrogen bonds which are highly polar, for that reason, it is able to get dissolved in water via hydrogen bonds.

    Best regards!
