Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The stereocenters in glucose molecule should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Glucose is the simplest monosaccharide with molecular formula C6 H12 O6. It can exist as open chain structure and also as Haworth’s projection. Enantiomers are the optically active stereoisomers which are non-super imposable mirror images of each other. Diastereomers are also stereoisomers which have two or more stereocenters but not mirror image of each other.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of stereoisomers in glucose molecule should be determined.

- Consider the following Figure 2 and two atoms that are initially an infinite distance apart, x =00, at which point the potential energy of the system is U = 0. If they are brought together to x = x, the potential energy is related to the total force P by dU dx = P Given this, qualitatively sketch the variation of U with x. What happens at x=x? What is the significance of x = x, in terms of the potential energy? 0 P, Force 19 Attraction Total Repulsion x, Distance Figure 2. Variation with distance of the attractive, repulsive, and total forces between atoms. The slope dP/dx at the equilibrium spacing xe is proportional to the elastic modulus E; the stress σb, corresponding to the peak in total force, is the theoretical cohesive strength.arrow_forwardDenote the dipole for the indicated bonds in the following molecules.
