There are several different compounds called sugars. The simple sugars are called monosaccharides:
- Glucose (C6H12O6)
- Fructose (C6H12O6)
- Galactose (C6H12O6)
- Xylose (C5H10O5)
- Ribose (C5H10O5)
Of those, glucose and fructose are the most common. More complex sugar molecules include sucrose ("table sugar") (C12H22O11) and lactose (C12H22O11). Sugars form polymers with many different atomic arrangements, so many different sugars share the same molecular formulas.
