Yes, sucrose and maltose are structural isomers because they have the same simple molecular formula which is C12H22O11. This is the formula for a disaccharide, which is two monosaccharides combined together through dehydration synthesis which causes the disaccharide to lose two hydrogens and an oxygen atom, which is why the formula is C12H22O11 instead of C12H24O12.

Do the molecules fit easily together form maltose?

Yes, they do. Glucose and Fructose go through a condensation reaction to make sucrose (since H2O is taken out of the equation). Fructose and sucrose are isomers.

What are the emperical formulas for maltose sucrose and lactose?

The empirical formula for maltose is C12H22O11, for sucrose it is C12H22O11, and for lactose it is C12H22O11. This means that all three sugars have the same empirical formula.


How does the chemical formula for maltose compare to scurose?

The chemical formula for maltose is C12H22O11, while the formula for sucrose is C12H22O11. They both have 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms, but maltose is a disaccharide made up of two glucose units, while sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose units.
