diamonds are made of carbon atoms. enough said.
No, simple sugars do not contain as many carbon atoms as oxygen atoms. Simple sugars, like glucose or fructose, have the chemical formula C6H12O6, which means they have 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
If you mean CO2 there are 3 atoms of two elements: 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. If you really did mean Co2, that would be a diatomic molecule of cobalt containing 2 atoms of 1 element. However, no such molecule exists.
Atoms such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur are known to form multiple bonds. For example, carbon can form double or triple bonds with other carbon atoms or with atoms like oxygen or nitrogen. Nitrogen can form triple bonds with itself to create nitrogen gas, while oxygen can form double bonds with other oxygen atoms in molecules like O2.
A hydrocarbon fuel burnt in an atmosphere with sufficient oxygen will create water and carbon dioxide, i.e. both the hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms in the fuel combine with two oxygen atoms. However if there is not enough oxygen available the carbon atoms will form a double bond with a single oxygen atom forming carbon monoxide.
Carbon bonds are typically referred to as covalent bonds, in which carbon atoms share electrons with other atoms, like hydrogen, oxygen, etc. Carbon can also form double bonds and triple bonds with other atoms, depending on the number of electrons shared.
No, simple sugars do not contain as many carbon atoms as oxygen atoms. Simple sugars, like glucose or fructose, have the chemical formula C6H12O6, which means they have 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
The actual molecule looks like this: O=C=O (a carbon atom with double-bonded oxygen atoms on each side) Dioxide means "two oxygen atoms"
An element is a pure substance with only one type of atom. Any pure substance - oxygen, carbon, aluminium. It cannot have two different types of atoms, like carbon dioxide, which has carbon atoms and oxygen atoms.
A molecule is said to be organic if it contains carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms. Organic molecules can also contain other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, as long as they are predominantly composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Yes, sugar like all organic compounds contains carbon. Table sugar or sucrose is C12H22O11, so each molecule contains 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms.

Carbon and Oxygen are atoms (although the terms can also be use for some corresponding pure molecules like O2). Carbon dioxide is a molecule. It is more different from carbon and Oxygen than a chair is different from wood and nails...
Well, darling, in 3CO2, there are 6 oxygen atoms (3 molecules x 2 oxygen atoms per molecule). In 4H2O, there are 8 oxygen atoms (4 molecules x 2 oxygen atoms per molecule). So, in total, you've got 14 oxygen atoms floating around in that equation. Hope that clears things up for ya!
It looks sort of like this: O=C=O...how many is that? :)
This could describe a molecule like formic acid (HCOOH), which contains hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms. These atoms are combined in specific ratios to form a molecule with distinct chemical properties.
the formula is C6H12O6 which stands for carbon 6 hydrogen 12 oxygen 6
