A sugar is a pure substance.

Sugar is the generic name for many compounds which are all pure substances.

Fructose is a sugar. Glucose is a sugar. Lactose is a sugar.

Glucose + Fructose --> Sucrose

This is a chemical reaction between 2 sugars to make another, more complex sugar.

This reaction if I remember correctly eliminates a water molecule as well as producing sucrose. The reaction occurs in certain plants and is done by an enzyme. Mixing fructose and glucose in a bowl will NOT form sucrose. Refer to the wikipedia article on sugar. It shows the molecular structure of sucrose. A substance cannot have a molecular structure if it is a mixture. It is a compound and compounds are pure substances.
