Detailed explanation-3: -Sugar is a compound which contains carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen.
Detailed explanation-4: -As we all know nitrogen is not present in the sugar compound. All the other compounds like carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are present in the sugar compound.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are elements as each of them are made up of two identical atoms. Whereas water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, therefore it is not an element.
