It depends on the kind of sugar you are talking about. If you are talking about glucose or fructose, the molecular formula is C6H12O6 (glucose and fructose only differ in structure but have the same formula). Sucrose, which is common table sugar, has the molecular formula C12H22O11.
Scientifically, the word "sugar" is used for any mono- or di-saccharide. Sugar added in food is called sucrose. Sugar naturally found in fruit is called fructose.

Does sugar have more molecules than water?
Perhaps you mean: Does sugar have more atoms than water?In a certain fixed mass of sugar/water, there will be more molecules of water than of sugar since the molecular mass of sugar is higher than that of water. We follow the rule of Mass = Number of moles of a substance * Molecular mass of the substance.We rearrange this to form Number of moles = Mass / Molecular massTherefore, since the molecular mass of sugar is higher, the number of moles of sugar in a fixed mass of sugar is lower. The number of moles of sugar is directly proportional to the number of molecules of sugar, since we follow Avogadro's Law:1 mole = 6 * 10^23 molecules (constant value)However, if you meant to ask if sugar had more atoms than water, the answer is yes, it does. Sugar (presumably glucose) has the chemical formula of C6H12O6 and thus has 24 C, H and O atoms altogether. Water, with the formula H2O, has 3 atoms of H and O altogether.I hope this was helpful! :)
What does a compound formula tell you?
A compound formula, or molecular formula, tells you about the chemical composition of the substance in terms of the number of atoms of that element that are present. From there, the empirical formula may also be derived by simplifying the molecular formula, as well as its structural formula.
