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.

Has chemical formula C12H22O11?
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.
