There are different types of sugar but a common sugar has the formula C6H12O6 so it would contain 24 separate atoms. "Simple sugar" is sometimes used as another name for glucose, which does have the above formula. However, if you mean table sugar, that's a disaccharide of glucose and fructose, C12H22O11, a total of 45 atoms.

What does chemical formula of a compound represents?
A chemical formula or molecular formula is a way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a chemical compound.So this being said, that basically means the chemical formula represents the atoms that are bonded to one another (An atom is classified according to chemical element and isotope more specifically)
What does a chemical formula communicate?
A chemical formula shows the composition of a substance. It shows the elements present and their relative numbers. There are several types of formula which give specific types of information, but that's the basics.
How many atoms are present in the formula for propane?
The chemical formula of propane is C3H8; 11 atoms are present in the molecule.
What is a combination of symbols and numbers that describes a molecule?
A combination of chemical symbols that show what elements make up a compound and the number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of the compound is a chemical formula.
What is the chemical formula for the molecule?
A molecule contain two or more atoms of chemical elements; each molecule has a specific formula.
What is the chemical formula for carbs?
hree common sugars share the same molecular formula: C6H12O6. Because of their six carbon atoms, each is a hexose.
Is galactose an isomer?
Isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but different physical arrangements of atoms. Glucose and galactose are two of the several sugars having the formula C6H12O6, but have different arrangements of the atoms in their molecules.
What is a symbol that shows the elements in a compound and the ratio of atoms?
You think probable to the chemical formula of a molecule.
How many atoms are represented in the formula?
A chemical formula is the representation of a molecule of a chemical compound; all the atoms from the molecule of this compound need to be represented in the formula.
How many H atoms are present in a chemical formula?
By looking at an actual chemical formula for a compound, we could tell you how many hydrogen atoms there are per molecule (or at least per formula unit) of that compound.Without the specific chemical formula, we can't. So the question is meaningless ... how many hydrogen atoms are present in a chemical formula depends on what the chemical formula is.
Are simple sugars containing between 3 and 7 atoms?
not sure
The subscript in a chemical formula refers to the?
The subscript in a chemical formula refers to the _____.
How many hydrogen atoms are there in sugar?
Simple sugars have the formula Cn(H2O)n .So, if you had 11 oxygen you would have the simple sugar formula C11H22O11.With this you can see that the total hydrogen atoms is 22.
What is a formulas?
Well, generally a formula is a group of symbols that make a mathematical statement. In chemistry, chemical formula or molecular formula is a way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound. For example formula of Sodium hydroxide is (NaOH), formula of methane is (CH4) etc. -or- A chemical formula is a concise way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound. It identifies each type of element by its chemical symbol and identifies the number of atoms of such element to be found in each discrete molecule of that compound. Glucose with six atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms has the chemical formula: C6H12O6 Hope this helps. _______________________________________________________________ The chemical formula for water is H20

What is the chemical formula for artificial light?
Light isn't atoms, so there's no chemical formula for it.
How do you do an empirical formula?
An empirical formula is a chemical formula which contain only the chemical symbol of elements; no number of atoms or structure.
