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:

Fructose or fruit Sugar (also levulose or laevulose) is a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. It is an isomer of glucose, meaning both have the same molecular formula (C6H12O6), but they differ structurally. Glucose is an aldehyde i.s.o. ketone.For structural formula cf. 'Related links'
The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
Yes. Glucose is an isomer of fructose and vice versa. Both have the molecular formula C6H12O6. Isomers are compounds with the same number of different elements per molecule but differ in, for example, their structural formulae.
To draw the structural formula for lactose, start with a glucose molecule. Attach a galactose molecule to the glucose molecule through a beta-1,4 glycosidic bond. This forms the disaccharide lactose.
C6H12O6.
C6 h12 o6
A structural isomer is when molecules have the same formula, but a different structure. Glucose is a structural isomer because Pyruvate and Ribose have the same formula (CH2O), but have a different number of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens: C3H6O3 - Pyruvate C5H10O5 - Ribose C6H12O6 - Glucose Hope this helps! :)

The three simple sugars absorbed into the bloodstream are glucose, fructose, and galactose.
The actual chemical formula isn't different - both are C6H12O6. The only reason glucose and fructose are different is because the atoms are arranged differently. View the Related Links below to see the molecular arrangements of Fructose and Glucose.
Glucose is C6H12O6 For your own curiosity; sucrose is C12H22O11 fructose is also C6H12O6 but it is structural isomer of glucose.
Yes. Glucose and fructose are isomers, having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Because they have the same formula, the ratios of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are the same for both glucose and fructose.
draw a structural formula for organics, write a chemical formula (molecular formula or ionic formula) for simpler compounds.

An example of an expanded structural formula for a cyclic compound is cyclohexane, which is a six-carbon ring with all single bonds. The expanded structural formula would show all the carbon and hydrogen atoms in the ring, along with the single bonds between them.
