Question

multiple - choice question
what is sugar classified as?
compound
heterogeneous mixture
homogeneous mixture
element

Explanation:

A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded together. Sugar, like sucrose (\(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}\)), is made up of carbon (\(C\)), hydrogen (\(H\)), and oxygen (\(O\)) atoms chemically combined. A heterogeneous mixture has visibly different substances or phases. A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition but is a combination of substances (not chemically bonded). An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom. Since sugar has multiple types of atoms chemically bonded, it is a compound.

Answer:

Compound
