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 sugar an element?

No, sugar is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. A common sugar is Glucose, which has three atoms in it: 1 Carbon, 1 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen in the arrangement C6H12O6 . This means that in one molecule of Glucose, there are 24 atoms. So, as sugar [Glucose] has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
