Draw the structural formula for glucose?

Answer 1

Glucose can be in several different forms. Dry or powdered glucose is in a chain form, but more often glucose is represented in a hexagonal form. Further specification of alpha or beta glucose may be required as this can alter the chemical properties to some extent. The link below offers as near perfect an explanation available without knowing the specific context of your question:

Answer 2

Glucose exists in two forms: ring-shaped glucopyranose (the most commonly seen one, so named because it has structural similarities to pyran) and chain-shaped "open" form.

To draw glucopyranose:

• Draw a hexagon with the vertices pointing in the 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 o'clock positions.
• Draw a carbon atom (C) at all but the 1 o'clock position
• Draw an oxygen atom (O) at the 1 o'clock position
• At the 3, 5, and 9 o'clock carbons, draw an "H" above and an "OH" below the C, connected by solid lines
• At the 7 o'clock carbon, draw an "OH" above and an "H" below the C, connected by solid lines
• At the 11 o'clock carbon, draw a "CH2OH" above and an "H" below the C, connected by solid lines

To draw chain-form glucose:

• Draw a straight line vertically
• Starting at the top of the line, place six carbon atoms (C) at even spacings on the line, ending with the last carbon atom at the bottom of the line
• Starting from the top, name the carbon atoms 1 to 6, respectively (no need to write down the numbers unless necessary).
• For carbon #1, draw an "O" at the 10 o'clock position, connected by double solid lines, and an "H" at the 2 o'clock position, connected by a single solid line
• For carbon #2, 4, and 5, draw an "H" directly to the left and an "OH" directly to the right, connected by solid lines.
• For carbon #3, draw an "OH" directly to the left and an "H" directly to the right, connected by solid lines.
• For carbon #6, draw an "H" directly to the left and an "H" directly to the right, connected by solid lines. Also draw an "OH" directly below, connected by solid lines.

Answer 3

The structural formula for glucose is fairly simple to draw. It is as follows: HOCH2-CH2OH-CH2OH-CH2OH-CH2OH-HC=O. The molecular formula is C6H12O6.

Answer 4

glucose is type of carbohydrates which is useful for living things such as animal and human and their formula is C6H12O6

Answer 5

The structural formula for D-Glucose is C6H12O6. A rough drawing would be OHCH2-CHOH-CHOH-CHOH-CHOH-CH=O. Glucose is an important carbohydrate in Biology.
