Question

elements present in table sugar

Answer 1

The white stuff we know as sugar is sucrose, a molecule composed of 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen, and 11 atoms of oxygen (C12H22O11). Like all compounds made from these three elements, sugar is a carbohydrate.

Answer 2

Elements present in table sugar, are - 1) Carbon, 2) Hydrogen, and 3) Oxygen.

• The commonly used sugar in the kitchen or table sugar is a chemical compound.
• The chemical formula of this table sugar (which is a chemical compound) is: C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁
• This means, there are 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms, in one molecule of table sugar.
• Now, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen are chemical elements that are individually present in the modern periodic table.
• So, the constituent elements of table sugar are undoubted, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
