Organic molecules usually don't dissociate (AFAIK), so I dont think c6h12o6 does either. The thing about NaNO3 is that even thought It has 3 oxygens, nitrate is a polyatomic ion, which means you treat it as one ion. So NaNO3 breaks up into Na+ + NO3-. You can find a list of polyatomics online as well. This is really important. I recommend memorizing the important ones.
