The term carbohydrate can basically be translated into "carbon water".
Therefore, the typical formula for a carbohydrate is
CH2O
.
--> Carbon with 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen:
C+H2O
The most common sugar is glucose from the photosynthesis reaction.
Glucose has a formula of
C6H12O6
.Sucrose which is table sugar is
C12H22O11
.
Note that in each case the hydrogen is twice the oxygen, just the same as in a water molecule.
