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.
