The white stuff we know as sugar is sucrose, a molecule composed of 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen, and 11 atoms of oxygen (C12H22O11). Like all compounds made from these three elements, sugar is a carbohydrate.
If that didnt answer your question maybe this will:
It's an Alkali earth metal. Sugar is an organic compound that is made from Oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. ... This is a compound not an element.
