Glucose C6H12O6 has six isomers, there are two configurations of Glucose, D-Glucose and L-Glucose, both of these have further three isomers one open chain and two closed chain or cyclic isomers one is Alpha-Glucose and other is Beta-Glucose.

∙ 12y agoGlucose and Fructose are structural isomers.
1. Carbons 3 and 4 are inverted.
2. On Fructose, carbon 2 is double bonded to oxygen while it's carbon 1 on Glucose that's double bonded to oxygen.
3. Also, when dissolved in water, Glucose is a 6 sided ring while Fructose is a 5 sided ring.

Fructose and glucose are examples of .?
isomers
Is glucose and fructose are metamers?
Glucose and fructose are metamers. This is a term that is used in chemistry to refer to one of two or more chemical compounds that are isomers.
What is a monoscheride that is an isomer of glucose?
The monosaccharides fructose and galactose are isomers of glucose.
Which compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures?
isomers
Is the ratio the same in glucose and fructose?
Glucose and fructose are isomers, with the same empiric chemical formula but with a different structure and properties.
Fructose and glucose are examples of .?
isomers
Is glucose and fructose are metamers?
Glucose and fructose are metamers. This is a term that is used in chemistry to refer to one of two or more chemical compounds that are isomers.
What is a monoscheride that is an isomer of glucose?
The monosaccharides fructose and galactose are isomers of glucose.
What prefix is used for isomers?
Isomers do not have prefix. See any prefix in glucose,galactose,or sucrose?(these three simple sugars are Isomers)
Is galactose an isomer?
Isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but different physical arrangements of atoms. Glucose and galactose are two of the several sugars having the formula C6H12O6, but have different arrangements of the atoms in their molecules.
What is c2h6?
C6H12O6 is fructose , glucose and galactose (They are isomers, which means that they have the same molecular formulae) C6H12O6 is fructose , glucose and galactose (They are isomers, which means that they have the same molecular formulae)
Is Glucose and Fructose a geometric isomer?
Nope. They are structural isomers.
What is the full name of the chemical symbol C6H12O6?
It IS a chemical symbol: it is used for hexoses like glucose, fructose and a lot of (less common) isomers of these two.
How many possible isomers of glucose exist and what are some examples?
Your question is not specific enough - what do you mean by isomer? If you mean stereoisomers (likely question with biomolecules) the two most common stereoisomers of glucose are L-glucose and D-glucose. There are 4 chiral carbons in glucose so there would be 42 or 16 possible stereoisomers. The other most important stereoisomers would be mannose and galactose.
Are alpha and beta glucose structural isomers?
no they are not. they are stereoisomers(configurational) Structural isomers. isomers that differ in the arrangement literally. so the difference between the cylic glucose molecule that is a ring and the non ring glucose. these two are structural isomers. if molecule A and B have the same molecular formula but look different and are thus arranged differently they are structural isomers. conformational isomers. these are isomers that differ from each other simply by the rotation around a single bond. if molecule B can be twisted around the single bonds to get molecule A then A and B are conformational isomers. configurational isomers (stereoisomers). if molecules A and B do not fall into the above two categories, then they are stereoisomers. these type of isomers differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms. so if molecule A was the mirror image of molecule B then these two molecules would be a type of stereoisomers called (Enantiomers). for alpha glucose the OH group attached to the anomeric carbon is not the same as teh CH2OH group on the other side of the hemiacetal( on the other side of the ether oxygen.). ie. if the OH is axial down then the CH2OH is equatorial up. and vice versa. the molecule is beta glucose when these two substituents are the same in this aspect. both either equatorial or axial. the difference between axial and equatorial is spatial adn in the arrangement of atoms connected to the carbon ring and solely a difference in this aspect (alpha or beta) means the molecules are stereoisomers.
Which compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures?
isomers
What are compuonds withe the same cheimcial formule but different structure?
structural isomers: Such as glucose and fructose. Both chemical names of C6H1206, but structurally they are built differently.
