The chemical formula of table sugar (sucrose in English language) is:
C12H22O11; consequently the sugar molecule contain 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen and 11 atoms of oxygen.

∙ 13y agoWell...if by sugar you mean glucose or dextrose (depending on whether you are taking bio or chem respectively), the molecular formula is C6H12O6. That means there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms in a single molecule. That's a grand total of 24 atoms in a single molecule of glucose (a.k.a dextrose).

When elements combine to make a compound is it always in the same proportion?
No, the elements are not always in the same proportion. For example, two atoms of hydrogen combine with one atom of oxygen to make a single molecule of water. But one atom of hydrogen combines with one atom of fluorine to make a single molecule of hydrogen fluoride. The numbers of atoms involved depends on the number of electrons available in the outer electron clouds of the atoms involved.
How many molecules of ozone can you make from 6 atoms of oxygen?
Ozone molecule has 3 atoms of oxygen and its Symbol is O3.
How many atoms does water make up?
There are three atoms in a molecule of water. One oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. The simplified form for the molecule of water is H2O which is a coded form for the 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms that make up the molecule.
What are the 3 atoms that make a molecule?
Water is made up of two different elements and three atoms their are two atoms of hydrogen and their is one atom of oxygen, which forms (makes) water or H2OH2 + O --> H2O
Can a particle be a single atom?
Answer: No, it takes millions, if not billions of atoms to make one grain of sugar. No. The smallest "particle" of sugar would be a molecule. The individual atoms are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, but they no longer have the properties of the sugar.
What is made up?
A molecule is made up of atoms that make different formulas. Each atom is a different element, so a group of different atoms will form a type of molecule, like a sugar molecule. A molecular formula would be the formula of the molecule's atoms. Like sugar= C6, (Carbon 6 Atoms) H12, (Hydrogen 12) O6. (Oxygen 6) C6H12O6 A molecule is made up of electrons and protons.
Is a molecule composed of a single or multiple atoms?
When two (or more) atoms get together...they make a molecule! Everything from Oxygen to those insanely complicated names on the back of shampoo bottles are molecules made of atoms.
What is the subscripts of a chemical equation?
The amount of atoms of each element that make up a single molecule.
How is a molecule differ from an atom?
Atoms make up stable molecules. An atom is a single atom of an element. For example an atom of Helium(He) A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together. So hydrogen in its natural state of H2 is a molecule containing two hydrogen atoms. Another example is H2O which contains to atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
How many atoms of hydrogen make up sugar?
In table sugar (C12H22O11) there are 22 hydrogens in this disacharide. In monosacharides ther are normally 12 H's (C6H12O6)
How can you make a hydrogen molecule?
We can make a hydrogen molecule by fusing 2 hydrogen atoms....!!
How are atoms related to molecules in a sample of a compound?
atoms are made of molecules and that is why they are related !
When elements combine to make a compound is it always in the same proportion?
No, the elements are not always in the same proportion. For example, two atoms of hydrogen combine with one atom of oxygen to make a single molecule of water. But one atom of hydrogen combines with one atom of fluorine to make a single molecule of hydrogen fluoride. The numbers of atoms involved depends on the number of electrons available in the outer electron clouds of the atoms involved.
Do 2 atoms make a molecule?
Yes, it is a diatomic element, a diatomic molecule. Some examples:O2 gasBr2 liquidI2 solid
What atoms and how many atoms make up a plastic molecule?
103
How do an atom of hydrogen and a molecule of hydrogen differ?
A molecule consists of many atoms. When you have a hydrogen molecule, or whatever other type of molecule for that matter, you have many hydrogen atoms that make it.
How many atoms does water make up?
There are three atoms in a molecule of water. One oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. The simplified form for the molecule of water is H2O which is a coded form for the 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms that make up the molecule.
