Is a sugar mixture or pure substance?

A sugar is a pure substance. Sugar is the generic name for many compounds which are all pure substances. Fructose is a sugar. Glucose is a sugar. Lactose is a sugar. Glucose + Fructose --> Sucrose This is a chemical reaction between 2 sugars to make another, more complex sugar. This reaction if I remember correctly eliminates a water molecule as well as producing sucrose. The reaction occurs in certain plants and is done by an enzyme. Mixing fructose and glucose in a bowl will NOT form sucrose. Refer to the wikipedia article on sugar. It shows the molecular structure of sucrose. A substance cannot have a molecular structure if it is a mixture. It is a compound and compounds are pure substances.
