No, it's a pure compound (at least, it can be; sugar you buy at the grocery store might not be absolutely pure). Chemically speaking "sugar" is a class of compounds. There are lots of different sugars: sucrose (this is cane sugar, the grocery store kind), glucose (blood sugar), maltose (malt sugar), galactose and lactose (sugars found in milk), fructose (fruit sugar), and many others (you may have noticed a pattern: the names of sugars tend to end with -ose).

Is sugar water a mixture?
Yes, Heterogeneous Additional information: The sugar is dissolved in the water. This "mixture" consists of two different types of molecules (thus we call it a mixture): water molecules (H2O) and sugar molecules (one type of sugar is table sugar, C12H22O11)
Is white sugar a mixture or a substance?
Table sugar is a pure substance. It is made up of one type of molecule that cannot be separated into two or more components. Mixtures can be separated. For example, a mixture of water and sand can be separated into two components. Other examples of pure substances are diamonds, and table salt.
Is sugar an element or mixture?
Sugar is a compound. It consists of several different elements depending on the type of sugar. A compound is formed by a chemical reaction and cannot be separated. You can't separate sugar into other substances physically.
Is a gram of sugar a solution?
Table sugar is generally provided in solid state, as a fine dust off small crystals. Since a solution is constituted by a liquid solvent where another substance (a solute)) is dissolved, table sugar is not a solution. It becomes part of a solution (the solute) if it is dissolved in water, or in coffee for example.
Is sugar solution a mixture?
Yes. Sugar solution is a homogeneous mixture.
Is sugar table element or mixture or compound?

Is sugar an element compound or mixture?
Table sugar is a compound.
Is table sugar a hetero or homo?
Table sugar (sucrose) is a chemical compound not a mixture.
Are table salt and sugar homogeneous?
No, its not a homogenous mixture as sugar and sugar are not distributed uniformly. However, sugar in water and salt in water is a homogenous mixture.
Is sugar a mixture or elements?
Table sugar, which most likely is sucrose, is a compound.
Is table sugar compundhomogeneous mixture-heterogeneous mixture?
sugar itself is not a mixture, now dissolved in water is homogeneous, increasing quantity can lead to hetergeneous mixture because of precipitate
Is table sugar added to a cup of coffee and stirred a pure substance or a mixture?
No, that would be a mixture.
Is table sugar an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sugar is a name for a class of carbohydrate of which there are many; frusctose, maltose, glucose etc. Common table sugar is a dissaccharide (compound) of two sugars, glucose and fructose and is chemically called sucrose.
