The structure of DNA consists of three main molecules-

2. Sugar

3. Phosphate

The structure looks like the image shared below. One carbon atom of the sugar molecule is connected to nucleotide, and two carbons are connected to phosphates at two sides. This way a chain or the backbone of DNA is formed.
