(a)

Summary Introduction

To provide:

The product of oxidation of D-galactose at $\text{C6}$.

Introduction:

The oxidation reactions are those reactions in which there occurs loss of electron from ions, atoms, or molecules. In this kind of reaction, the donor moiety donates electron to acceptor moiety. In terms of oxygen, oxidation refers to the gain of oxygen.
