Yes. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon (carbo-) and water (-hydrate). Therefore, the hydrogen and oxygen are always in a 2:1 ratio. Yes: Almost all carbohydrates all have the empirical formula CnH2nOn, in which n represents an integer. Therefore, the empirical formula corresponds to that of a postulated monohydrate of carbon.

∙ 9y agoNo carbon is not a carbohydrate, but a carbohydrate consists of carbon. It also is made up of hydrogen and oxygen.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, carbohydrates by definition contain carbon. Sugars, starches, and fibre are all organic compounds that contain carbon.

∙ 14y agoNo, CO2 stands for one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. This molecule is a gas, known as carbon dioxide.

∙ 12y agoNo. Hydrogen is simply an element. Carbohydrates do contain hydrogen though.

Does carbohydrates contain sulfur?
no. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What type of atoms do carbohydrates contain?
Carbohydrates fall into the general formula Cx(H2O)y, each molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
What are carbohydrates formed from?
Carbohydrates contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
What carbohydrates are made from?
Carbohydrates (glucides) contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
What atom is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen. Carbohydrates and fats contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, but proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
What elements do caybohydrates contain?
Carbohydrates contain carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen.
Which element out of Hydrogen Carbon Oxygen Sulfur and Nitrogen is not found in carbohydrates?
You shouldn't find nitrogen or sulphur in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Carbohydrates contain the elements of?
Usually carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Why are oxygen hydrogen and carbon carbohydrates?
they are carbonates as they are organuc substances and they contain carbon.
Does carboyhydrate contain nitrogen?
No. By definition, carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What chemical elements do cabohydrates contain?
Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Do carbohydrates contain mostly carbon and hydrogen with some oxygen but in no specific ratio?
No. Carbohydrates are carbon with water (most of the time). The ratio is 1 carbon to 1 hydrogen and 2 oxygens. The name does tell you: carbo- (carbon) + hydrate (water). So the generic formula is CHO2.I think you have it backwards. The general formula for a carbohydrate is CH2O, not CHO2.
