Detailed explanation-1: -The general chemical formula of carbohydrate is (CH2O)n. For example-in the case of glucose, substitute n=6, then the chemical formula of glucose is C6H12O6.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates have the general molecular formula CH2O, and thus were once thought to represent “hydrated carbon". However, the arrangement of atoms in carbohydrates has little to do with water molecules. Starch and cellulose are two common carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. Glucose is overall the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-4: -A monosaccharide is the simplest form of carbohydrate which is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The basic formula of the monosaccharide is CnH2nOn.
Detailed explanation-5: -Monosaccharide: The most basic, fundamental unit of a carbohydrate. These are simple sugars with the general chemical structure of C6H12O6. Simple Carbohydrates: One or two sugars (monosaccharides or disaccharides) combined in a simple chemical structure.
