Fructose or fruit Sugar (also levulose or laevulose) is a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. It is an isomer of glucose, meaning both have the same molecular formula (C6H12O6), but they differ structurally. Glucose is an aldehyde i.s.o. ketone.
For structural formula cf. 'Related links'

Whose molecular formula is C6H22O6?
The molecular formula C12 H22 O11 is for DISCCHARIDES (sugars) -three different sugars - with different molecular structures, BUT ONLY ONE: molecular formula : 1. Lactose 2. Sucrose 3. Maltose The three sugars all have the same formula , but the structure represents the combination of two sugars - that is they are Discaccharide Type Sugars (dis,as two). to identify the formula -to a particular sugar we must know how it is structured as : LACTOSE= GLUCOSE + GALACTOSE FRUCTOSE = GLUCOSE + FRUCTOSE MALTOSE = GLUCOSE + GLUCOSE Sugar is Sugar by formula but not by structure.
Is Glucose and Fructose a functional isomer?
Yes. Glucose is an isomer of fructose and vice versa. Both have the molecular formula C6H12O6. Isomers are compounds with the same number of different elements per molecule but differ in, for example, their structural formulae.
Do some carbon compounds have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms?
Yes. Three examples are the monosaccharides glucose, fructose, and galactose. They are called isomers.
A multiple of an empirical formula is often called what?

Is H2O a molecular formula or formula unit?
a molecular formula
What is the molecular formula of the fructose?
The molecular formula of fructose is C6H12O6
What is fructose solution?
fructose has same molecular formula but different structural formula. but the amount of sweetness of fructose is much much greater than glucose or sucrose. so the fructose solution is the sweetest solution...
Which compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures?
isomers
What do the two molecules ( fructose and glucose ) have in common?
Fructose and Glucose are isomers of each other. That means that one part of the molecule is in a different location on the other molecule. Fructose and glucose have the same molecular formula and molecular weight.
Write out the molecular formula for sucrose by adding together the formula for glucoge and fructose and then subtrating water molecule?

Does fructose become glucose when eaten?
through isomerization that happens in the liver. remember glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula. so it's just repositioning of OH elimination of ketone part of the fructose.
Glucose and fructose with the formula c6h12o6 differ in?
The actual chemical formula isn't different - both are C6H12O6. The only reason glucose and fructose are different is because the atoms are arranged differently. View the Related Links below to see the molecular arrangements of Fructose and Glucose.
What do glucose and fructose have in common?
Glucose and fructose have some things in common. The most common thing they have is that they are both simple sugars.
What is the food substance that makes things sweet?
Fructose contens of the sugar which is a combination of Glucose+Fructose makes the things sweet.
Is the ratio the same in glucose and frucrtose?
Yes. Glucose and fructose are isomers, having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Because they have the same formula, the ratios of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are the same for both glucose and fructose.
Same chemical formula but a different structure?
They would be called: ISOMERS.(Def; molecules or molecular compounds that are similar in that they have the same molecular formula, however have different arrangements of the atoms)For example; glucose and fructose
