Glucose and fructose are isomers, with the same empiric chemical formula but with a different structure and properties.
The structure, chemical formula unit and properties are the same.
From a chemical perspective, the substance most equivalent to sugar is glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar and the primary source of energy for cells in our bodies. It has the same molecular formula, C6H12O6, as other sugars like fructose and galactose, but its chemical structure is slightly different.
No? Consider starch and cellulose; same formula extremely different properties.

The other sugar is fructose. Fructose is a structural isomer of glucose. It has the same chemical formula but an altered structure.
A structural isomer is when molecules have the same formula, but a different structure. Glucose is a structural isomer because Pyruvate and Ribose have the same formula (CH2O), but have a different number of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens: C3H6O3 - Pyruvate C5H10O5 - Ribose C6H12O6 - Glucose Hope this helps! :)
The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
Glucose and fructose have some things in common. The most common thing they have is that they are both simple sugars.
Both sucrose and maltose have the same molecular formula, C12H22O11. What makes them different, however, is the structure these atoms take in the molecule.
the only difference is the structure or else the molecular formula and hence number of each type of atom is the same.
The molecular formula C12 H22 O11 is for DISCCHARIDES (sugars) -three different sugars - with different molecular structures, BUT ONLY ONE: molecular formula : 1. Lactose 2. Sucrose 3. Maltose The three sugars all have the same formula , but the structure represents the combination of two sugars - that is they are Discaccharide Type Sugars (dis,as two). to identify the formula -to a particular sugar we must know how it is structured as : LACTOSE= GLUCOSE + GALACTOSE FRUCTOSE = GLUCOSE + FRUCTOSE MALTOSE = GLUCOSE + GLUCOSE Sugar is Sugar by formula but not by structure.
They would be called: ISOMERS.(Def; molecules or molecular compounds that are similar in that they have the same molecular formula, however have different arrangements of the atoms)For example; glucose and fructose
Yes. Glucose and fructose are isomers, having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Because they have the same formula, the ratios of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are the same for both glucose and fructose.
No. An isomer has the same formula but a different structure in some way.
