The formula for a sugar is generally CnH2nOn for a monosaccharide. Whatever the sugar, it needs to contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
A molecule of an element is a molecule made up of the same substance that can exist as an atom; for example, oxygen as O2.
Though some molecules are made up from a single element, many of the molecules exist aren't from a single element.
alternating deoxyribose sugar molecules and phophate groups
The backbone of the DNA molecule is composed of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate units. These sugar-phosphate units are connected by phosphodiester bonds to form the backbone of the DNA strand.
C2H12O6, also known as sugar, is not an element but a molecule made up of three elements: six parts carbon, twelve parts hydrogen and six parts oxygen.
"element" (2 make up a molecule)
No, a monosaccharide is not an element. It is a simple sugar molecule made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
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.
A molecule of sugar typically has 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms.
Sucrose molecules are the ones that make up sugar cubes, sugar granules and powdered sugar.
Gold is an element, not a compound or molecule. It is a pure substance made up of only gold atoms.
Nitrogen is an element, and two nitrogen atoms make up a nitrogen molecule.
The amount of atoms of each element that make up a single molecule.
The backbone of the DNA molecule consists of a sugar, deoxyribose and a phosphate group. --(sugars and phosphates)
A molecule of an element is a molecule made up of the same substance that can exist as an atom; for example, oxygen as O2.
Atomicity is the number of atoms which constitute one molecule of an element. Simply we can say that it is the number of atoms of an element present in one molecule of that 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.
