is it fructose because glucose is c6h12o6 right????

C6H12O6 is fructose , glucose and galactose (They are isomers, which means that they have the same molecular formulae)
C12H22O11 is sucrose (Table sugar)

I think you have this confused with the chemical formula of glucose: C6H12O6. Glucose, fructose, and galactose all have the same chemical formula, but when looking at a structural diagram of the three, their functional groups are arranged differently.

Fructose is an isomer of glucose, so both are C6H12O6.

No, fructose is also C6H12O6. Glucose and fructose are structural isomers.

C6H12O12 does not exist, valenciues of C all screwed up. Fructose and Glucose have the same formula but G is an aldehyde and F is a Keto

its seems more like a fragment of ur imagination! glucose n fructose hv the same molecular fomula-C6H12O6

well, I don't know what it is, but both glucose and fructose have the same formula, c6h1206

It's not one of the commonly known sugars. I think you're mixing the formula up somewhat.

Sounds good, it is given as a "product of photosynthesis", but without a name. Typical internet!!
