Answer 2

Answer:

Sugar is a compound because it is formed by the combination of three atoms: Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.  

Explanation:

Sugar is a compound that is composed of three atoms: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. In sugar, there are 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms ( C$_{12}$ H$_{22}$ O$_{11}$) which are chemically joined with each other. Thus they form a compound in nature known as sucrose ( a carbohydrate)  which is actually made up of two simple units of sugar, fructose (C$_{6}$ H$_{12}$ O$_{6}$) and glucose(C$_{6}$ H$_{12}$ O$_{6}$).
