The investigator will find carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are the elements in HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). It's all C6H12O6 chemically speaking, but there is a catch.

HFCS is a blending of 1) corn syrup (which is 100% glucose) that has been processed to increase its fructose content, and 2) corn syrup (which is all glucose). In the world of biochemistry, we can have a number of compounds with the same chemical formula, but that have different molecular structures. Both fructose and glucose each have the same chemical formula as the other (C6H12O6). But by rearranging some of the molecules and then producing a "blend" of the two sugars, we now have HFCS as a food product you can add to just about anything you like.

There's three elements. I'm pretty sure the three are Carbon, Hydrogen & Oxygen.

The elements that make sucrose are chloride, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

The chemical formula for sucrose is C12H22O11. So, the molecule sucrose consists of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Sucrose is an organic compound.

How many element sucrose have?

Sucrose is made of 3 elements: Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen.


Is sucrose a compound or a element?

Sucrose is not an element itself, but it is made up of a mixture of elements. Sucrose is actually a compound and is, what we know, table sugar.


Is Sucrose an elements?

no it is a sugar , and therefore a compound


What elements are found in the compound sucrose?

Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.


Is sucrose on the periodic table?

Periodic table is an array or elements not compounds. Sucrose is a compound and not an element and hence it is not there or the periodic table.


Do the relative positions of sucrose in the periodic table agree with the theoretical prediction about the kind of compound these elements should form?

Sucrose is an ionic compound!!


What are the elements that make up sugar?

Sugar (sucrose) = C6H12O6, so the 3 elements are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.


Is sugar a mixture or elements?

Table sugar, which most likely is sucrose, is a compound.


Elements 2 and 3 are major building blocks in glucose fructose and sucrose. What are these elements?

Carbon and hydrogen


What element is not found in sugar?

Sucrose is comprised of 3 elements (Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen), and since there are 103 known elements, the remaining 100 elements are not found in sugar.-S.M.


Does carbon and sucrose share the same properties?

Carbon is an element. Sucrose, a sugar, is a compound ( a combination of elements ). Sucrose is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Pure carbon is found in two forms, graphite (pencil lead) and diamond. Carbon and sucrose are very different in properties except for the fact that both can be burned in the presence of oxygen to yield CO2 (and water in the case of sucrose).


Glucose and sucrose contain the elements carbon oxygen and hydrogen what kinds of elements are these?

At room temperature, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen are all non-metals.
