a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for ketoheptose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same structural formula but they differ in the arrangement of atoms in space.

Enantiomer:

An enantiomer also known as an optical isomer is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-supposable.

The number of possible stereoisomers is calculated as 2n where n is the number of asymmetric carbons present in a compound.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for aldoheptose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same structural formula but they differ in the arrangement of atoms in space.
