C6H12O6. 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, 6 atoms of oxygen.
The molecular formula of glucose is C6H12O6. This formula is also known as D-Glucose.
It is a molecular species with the formula C6H12O6

C6H12O6 (Glucose) is the molecular formula of a compound. So it is both.
The actual chemical formula isn't different - both are C6H12O6. The only reason glucose and fructose are different is because the atoms are arranged differently. View the Related Links below to see the molecular arrangements of Fructose and Glucose.

C6H12O6
Glucose is C6H12O6 Sucrose is C12H22O11
Add up or Tally the number of atoms of C, and H, and O and there you have it; namely Glucose = C6, O6, H12 is its molecular formula..

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.
The empirical formula of glucose is the formula which has the lowest ratio. You can divide all three elements by 6 to give: CH2O.
Both sucrose and maltose have the same molecular formula, C12H22O11. What makes them different, however, is the structure these atoms take in the molecule.
Molecular formulas can not be determined from information about atomic ratios only. If the ratios stated are atomic ratios, then the empirical formula of the compound is CH2O. If the questioner meant, "A glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms ...", the molecular formula is C6H12O6.
Technically no, molecular formula tells you how many atoms of each element compose a molecule. For example O: oxygen C: Carbon H: hydrogen Carbon dioxides molecular formula is CO2 Atmospheric oxygen is O2 Glucose's molecular formula is C6H12O6
Fructose or fruit Sugar (also levulose or laevulose) is a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. It is an isomer of glucose, meaning both have the same molecular formula (C6H12O6), but they differ structurally. Glucose is an aldehyde i.s.o. ketone.For structural formula cf. 'Related links'
