Chemical Formula: Glucose Fructose == Viscous yellow liquid. == Honey is primarily fructose and glucose in that order, with a little sucrose (about 1%), and less than 10% other sugars, and about 17% water. The low water content is important to many of honey's properties. It makes it thick, it prevents spoilage, but is enough to keep it liquid. Because there is so little water in honey, microorganisms that encounter honey die as the water in them is removed by osmosis. In addition, as honey is diluted with water, a chemical reaction between glucose, water, and oxygen produces small amounts of hydrogen peroxide and gluconic acid. The slow release of hydrogen peroxide makes honey a mild antiseptic. The acidity of honey also reduces the number of organisms that can live in it. Honey is mostly used as a sweetener, but it has been used to treat wounds and as a preservative.
Honey does not have it's own molecular formula. However, the predominant components are: The monosaccharides fructose and glucose and the disaccharide sucrose, the major component. The molecular formula for those sugars are: Sucrose; C12H22O11, Glucose; C6H12O6 and Fructose; C6H12O6. As you can see the formula for Glucose and Fructose are identical although the molecules are conformationally very different. In a case where there is confusion, I would certain use the international standardised nomenclature: Iernational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature, shortened to IUPAC. As such, the molecules follow the following nomenclature (name): Sucrose: Sucrose Glucose: 6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane -2,3,4,5-tetrol OR (2R,3R,4S,5R,6R)-6 -(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro -2H-pyran-2,3,4,5-tetraol Fructose: (2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)oxolane-2,3,4-triol Hope this helps.
Honey is not a single compound, so it has no symbol. It is a mixture of compounds, many of which are well known, but many other have still not been identified.

Nitrogen substances 1.08
Water 18.96
Ash 0.24
D-fructose and D-glucose, both monosaccharides.

Honey is a mixture not a compound: the principal components are glucose, fructose, water and maltose.
Honey is not a chemical compound but a mixture.

No, honey molecules do not interact more strongly than water molecules. Honey is a syrupy liquid that is composed mostly of water molecules, along with other compounds such as sugars. The intermolecular forces between water molecules, such as hydrogen bonding, are generally stronger than the forces between honey molecules, making water more cohesive and having a higher surface tension than honey.
Dissacharides are soluble in water because they have polar molecules.
The graeter motion of hot water molecules disperses the honey more quickly
No, honey does not contain lipids. Honey actually does not contain any type of fat at all. Honey also is one of the few foods that does not spoil.
The viscosity is lowered as molten rock heats up. A good analogy is warm honey versus cold honey. As the honey cools down it's molecules slow down and an increase in viscosity occurs.

Because the molecules of stuff honey is made from (sugar) are heavier than molecules of water.
yes it can
no honey is not fruit, it is a type of sugar
Yes and no. A honey bee is a type of bee, it's a specific type.
Yes, honey is a type of sugar and hence is a carbohydrate.
Honey contains primarily Glucose and Fructose.
There isn't another type of honey.
Yes, honey is a type of sugar and hence is a carbohydrate.
