It depends on the kind of sugar you are talking about. If you are talking about glucose or fructose, the molecular formula is C6H12O6 (glucose and fructose only differ in structure but have the same formula). Sucrose, which is common table sugar, has the molecular formula C12H22O11.
Scientifically, the word "sugar" is used for any mono- or di-saccharide. Sugar added in food is called sucrose. Sugar naturally found in fruit is called fructose.

As a sugar, sucrose is a bit strange as the empirical formula (simplest form) shows that the formula should be in the form CnH2nOn so for sucrose to follow the pattern it should be C12H24O12 but it isn't =/
However, the empirical formula of (CH2O)n applies predominately to only the simplest of sugars - monosaccharides, and the formation of a disaccharide such as sucrose, forces the loss of a water molecule, H2O - the missing atoms.

What is the combination of letters and numbers used to represent a substance?
A molecular formula contains the atomic composition by element and their quantities. For example H2O is the molecular formula for water. The formula indicates that there are two atoms of hydrogen (H) and one oxygen (O) in each water molecule. Through the molecular formula molar mass can further be derived. In the case of water is 18-grams per mole.
What does a compound formula tell you?
A compound formula, or molecular formula, tells you about the chemical composition of the substance in terms of the number of atoms of that element that are present. From there, the empirical formula may also be derived by simplifying the molecular formula, as well as its structural formula.

What two sugar isomers have in common?
If they're isomers, they by definition have the same molecular formula.
Whose molecular formula is C6H22O6?
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.
