There is not one, but several answers to this question.

A molecule with the formula C6H12O6 is called a hexosebecause it is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that contains six carbon atoms.

We most often refer to C6H12O6 as glucose. However, there are many isomers of glucose: an isomer is simply a different arrangement of atoms. The following sugars all have the molecular formula C6H12O6, but the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in each sugar are arranged differently:

- Allose

- Fructose

- Galactose

- Glucose

- Gulose

- Idose

- Mannose

- Psicose

- Pyranose

- Sorbose

- Tagatose

- Talose

There are other hexose sugars, most of which are not naturally-occurring but rather synthesized.

How does H2C6H6O6 behave as an acid in water?

H2C6H6O6 (ascorbic acid, vitamin C) behaves as a weak acid in water. It can donate a proton (H+) to water molecules, resulting in the formation of its conjugate base (HC6H6O6-). As a weak acid, it only partially dissociates in water and has a relatively low tendency to donate protons compared to strong acids.
