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.

How does isomer exist?

An isomer is a molecule or compound that has the same number of atoms as another but a different structure, different physical and chemical properties. Isomers can exist because in large molecules there are several different ways you can position the same elements to make different structures.


Why are CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO optical isomers?

CH3CH2COOH and CH3CHOHCHO have chiral centers, which are carbon atoms bonded to four distinct groups. Their mirror images are non-superimposable. This asymmetry results in optical isomerism, where the molecules exist as enantiomers.


How can glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula and yet be two different molecules?

The similarity is that fructose and glucose are related to carbohydates. Fructose is a carbohydrate that is found in fruit, fruit juices, and some vegetables, whereas glucose is the simplest form of carbohydrate used by your body.

How many structural isomers exist for C6H14?

Well let me see... isomers are compounds which share the same moecular formula (ieC6H14) but have different structures. So isomers of hexane (c6h14) include: Hexane 2-Methylpentane 3-Methylpentane 2,3-Dimethylbutane 2,2-Dimethylbutane Hope this helps
