C = 40.00%
H = 6.71 %
O = 53.28%
CAS Number: 57-48-7
EINECS: 200-333-3
HS
Code: 1702 50 00
Storage class (VCI): 10-13
(Other liquids and solids)

Poison class CH: F
Composition by Number:
6 + 12 + 6 = 24
for C: 6/24 = 0.25 = 1/4
for H = 12/24 = 0.5 = 1/2
for O = 6/24 = 0.25 = 1/4
Fructose composition is made of 1/4 Carbon, 1/4 Oxygen and 1/2 Hydrogen.
Composition by Mass:
6(12.011) + 12(1.0079) + 6(15.9994)=X
for C: 6(12.011)/X= 72.066/X = 1/72.066
for H : 12(1.0073)/X = 12.0876/X = 1/12.0876
for O:6(15.9994)/X = 95.9964/X = 1/95.9964
Carbon's mass is 1/72.066g, Hydrogen is 1/12.0876 and Oxygen is 1/95.9964.
Bonding:
Hydrogen and oxygen form a single bond and oxygen forms a double bond. It is possible to join a molecule of glucose and a molecule of fructose together by removing a molecule of water. This will produce a molecule of sucrose. Sucrose is transported by plants in their phloem. It is also stored by some plants such as sugar cane and sugar beet.
