Not exactly.
Everyday sugar is sucrose, which is a disaccharide. That is a sugar which is made up of two sugar units: glucose and fructose. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharide sugars, which are the smallest unit of sugar. Glucose and fructose are both 6-carbon-sugars, or hexoses and have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6. But their molecular structures are different so that they have different properties: fructose is much sweeter than glucose.
Sucrose is produced when one molecule each of glucose and fructose combine together in a condensation reaction, a process in which one molecule of water is removed.
Thus glucose + fructose => sucrose + water
or C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 = C12H22O11 + H2O

Is sugar a mixture or a solution?
Pure sugar is a compound, which is a pure substance. If you dissolve sugar in water, you will have a homogeneous mixture, which is a solution.
Is sugar a pure substance?
Yes, sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) is a compound, with only one type of molecule, which is a pure substance.
Is sugar a heterogeneous mixture or is it a homogeneous mixture?
Sugar is a compound, a pure substance, as it only contains sucrose.
Is white cane sugar and element or a compound?
Neither, it is a product and commodity! (Pure) Sugar is a compound containing the elements hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon.
Is white sugar a pure substance or mixture?
There are many types of sugar but, if you are describing one type of sugar and not a mixture of many sugars it would be a pure substance.
Is cane sugar a homo or heterogeneous mixture or compound?
Raw sugarcane is a heterogeneous compund, whereas pure sucrose (table sugar) is a homogeneous compound.
Is pure powdered sugar a compound mixture?
Powdered sugar is not a mixture, but a homogenous quantity of a singular molecular compound. It would only be a mixture if it contained other ingredients, for example.
Is xylose a mixture?
No, it's a pure carbohydrate (pentose type of sugar) compound
Is sugar an element or mixture?
Sugar is a compound. It consists of several different elements depending on the type of sugar. A compound is formed by a chemical reaction and cannot be separated. You can't separate sugar into other substances physically.
