chiral. If you were able to make another molecule that is a mirror image of the chiral molecule, the mirror image and the original molecule will be non-superimposable. Le. the atoms surrounding carbon won't completely align. The lack of alignment of the surround atom makes the two molecules different from each other. The central carbon must be surrounded by 4 different groups. The chiral carbon is highlighted. CH;CH) CHCH2 CH3-C-CH2-CHy OH CH3 mimor The 3D structure of the above molecule focuses on the chiral carbon and the bond surrounding the chiral carbon. The molecule on the left is different from the molecule on the right (mirror image) because they are non-superimposable. H. CH3-C-COOH HOOC CHI NH2 mimor Answer the following questions: 1. Draw five structural isomers for hexane, CHe Isomer 3 Isomer 2 Isomer 1 Isomer 5 Isomer 4
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of the α- and β- glucose anomers upon its dissolution in the solvent water. This process is usually seen in the chemistry of carbohydrates.
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotating the polarized light’s plane in the direction anticlockwise. L isomers are one of the 2 isomers formed by the configurational stereochemistry of the carbohydrates.
