Sugar is a common example of a compound with carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Compounds made from carbon, oxygen and hydrogen often fall under the category of carbohydrates, which are common to almost every living thing (including you!).
Common table sugar is sucrose, and has the chemical formula C12H22O11. That's a common carb that you probably encounter daily.
