Isomers in carbohydrates?
Isomers are molecules or molecular compounds that are similar in that they have the same molecular formula, however have different arrangements of the atoms or groups of atoms (functional groups) involved. while Stereo isomerism comes from the Greek word,stereos, meaning solid, i.e. objects existing spatially in three dimensions.As an example, glucose, while maintaining its basic structure, can arrange its atoms or functional groups in a number of different, spatial arrangements, forming a number of isomersof glucose, with different properties.
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.
Glucose and Fructose are examples of A. polysaccharides B. disaccharides C. isomers D. plastids?
Monosaccharides
Are starch and cellulose geometric isomers of each other?
example of a typical amino acid and its formula
Same chemical formula but a different structure?
They would be called: ISOMERS.(Def; molecules or molecular compounds that are similar in that they have the same molecular formula, however have different arrangements of the atoms)For example; glucose and fructose
If isomers of an alkali have the same molecular formula how do they differ?
Isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Why do geometrical isomers differ in their physical and chemical properties?
Isomers differ in their structural formulas. For example, the chemical formula for the simple sugars glucose, fructose, and galactose is C6H12O6, but their structural formulas are different, which gives them different properties. Glucose, fructose, and galactose are isomers of one another.
What physical properties are different for the isomers. explain.?
Isomers have different structures even though they have same compounds
Chemical compound which are isomers and have same physical and chemical properties?
Enantiomers..
Propanol and isopropanol are isomers This means that they have?
different molecular formulas but the same chemical properties
Is it true or false that isomers have the same physical properties because the chemical formulas are identical?
False
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.
Why are CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO optical isomers?
These are not optical isomers they are functional group isomers a subcategory of structural isomers.
How can two compounds make from the same element be different?
Isomers are compounds that exist in different molecular arrangements of atoms of the same elements and having identical atomic weights. Although isomers of a compound contain the same atoms in their molecules, the atoms are arranged in a different molecular structure and the isomers may differ in their physical, chemical, and biological properties.
Three types of isomers?
The three main types of isomers are structural isomers, geometric isomers, and enantiomers.
What is the difference between d ascorbic and L ascorbic acid?
l ascorbic acid and d ascorbic acid are optical isomers of each other. Optical isomers have the same physical and chemical properties but bend the plane of polarisation of polarized light in different directions.It is also called ChiralitySee the related link for more info on optical isomers.
What are the properties of geometric isomers?
Geometrical isomerism is a space isomerism which is noticed in the organic compounds having double bond and arises because of restricted or hindered rotation of the atoms or groups about double bond. Geometrical isomers differ in their physical and chemical properties. Melting point and stability of the cis isomers are lower than those of the trans isomer. Boiling point, solubility, density, dipole moment, refractive index and heat of combustion are higher for the cis isomer than the trans isomer.
