a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The systematic name of the given compound and the configuration (R or S) of each asymmetric center is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Carbohydrates are the polyhydroxy ketones or polyhydroxy aldehydes and they are represented by Fischer projections.  Polyhydroxy aldehydes are known as aldoses and polyhydroxy ketones are known as ketoses.

The isomer present in the clockwise direction when the highest priority group is place next to the highest priority substituent has the R configuration

The isomer present in the anticlockwise direction when the highest priority group is place next to the highest priority substituent has the S configuration

b)
