If a sugar compound has 6 carbons, how many hydrogen atoms does it have?
A
12
B
6
C
18
D
24
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fructose is another sugar that also has 6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, and 6 oxygen atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose has a chemical formula of: C6H12O6 That means glucose is made of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is a hexose, with six carbon atoms (Fig. 5.41), and an aldehyde-aldose monosaccharide. Fructose is also a hexose, but a ketose.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are 24 atoms in one molecule of C6 H12 06. This chemical compound has 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen. This is a total of 24 atoms.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
