Expert Solution

Step 1: Conformations of glucose

Different conformations of glucose arise in a system due to the difference in the relative positions of the substituents.

The cyclic structures of glucose have a six-membered cyclic system. The most stable conformation of a cyclohexane ring system is the chair conformation. Each C atom in a chair form is capable of forming two other bonds. One is present perpendicular to the plane which is called the axial substituent and the other is called the equatorial substituent.
