That's a great question, but it depends on what kind of sugar you're asking about!

Here's why:

* Sugar is a general term for sweet substances.

* Table sugar, or sucrose, is the most common type. It has a chemical formula of C12H22O11. This means each molecule of sucrose contains:

* 12 carbon atoms (C)

* 22 hydrogen atoms (H)

* 11 oxygen atoms (O)

* Total: 45 atoms per molecule

Important Note: The number of atoms in a sugar molecule is only one part of the story. There are also many sugar molecules in even a small amount of sugar.
