Because there is no draw tool on this website this might be a bit tough to draw but the structure for D-xylose is as follows:
CHO (aldehyde)
l
H----l----OH
l
HO---l-----H

H----l-----OH

Xylose is a 5-carbon sugar that can form a cyclic structure through intramolecular reaction between the C1 carbonyl group and the C5 hydroxyl group. This forms a six-membered ring called a pyranose ring, with oxygen at the anomeric position. The cyclic form of xylose is more common in solution than the open-chain form.
Xylose acts as a reductant because it has a reducing aldehyde group in its structure. This aldehyde group can donate electrons during a redox reaction, leading to the reduction of another species. Xylose can reduce certain compounds by transferring its electrons to them, making it a reductant in chemical reactions.
The heat capacity of xylose is 281 Jmol-1K-1.
There are 5 atoms of carbon in a xylose molecule.

The Lewis dot structure for germanium (Ge) is: Ge: :Ge:
The Lewis structure of the compound CCLO is as follows: CCCl-O.
The formal charge of the NCO Lewis structure is zero.
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
The Lewis structure was created by American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916. Lewis proposed using dots to represent the valence electrons of an atom in order to show how atoms bond together in molecules.
The molecular geometry of the BR3 Lewis structure is trigonal planar.
A xyloside is a glycoside of xylose.
