What is tha oxidation number of hydroxo?

Minus one for hydroxyl ( -OH) groups, minus two for oxo ( =O) groups.


What functional group are found in a monosaccharide?

Monosaccharides are classified by the number of carbon atoms and the types of functional groups present in the sugar. For example, glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6), but a different structure: glucose having an aldehyde (internal hydroxyl shown as: -OH) and fructose having a keto group (internal double-bond O, shown as: =O). This functional group difference, as small as it seems, accounts for the greater sweetness of fructose as compared to glucose.


Which closed cylinder contains the same number of gas molecules at STP as a 4.0 liter closed cylinder containing O2 gas at STP?

ANY closed cylinder of 4.0 litre will contain the same number of molecules of ANY gas as the 4.0 liter closed cylinder containing O2 gas at the SAME temperature and pressure, since then the volume only depends on the number of molecules, not on the kind of molecules of the gasses concerned


What are the functional groups of polyethylene glycol?

There are alcohol and ether groups. The structure is repeat units, where "n" is a large number: HO-(CH2-CH2-O)n-H See the Web Links for more information.


What makes a molecule hydrophobic?

Most carbohydrate's follow (CH2O)n as their chemical formula therefore they tend to have several hydroxyl groups (O-H bonds). Hydroxyl groups are polar and therefore interact well with water. In addition there is a carbonyl group (C=O) which is also a polarized functional group and therefore can interact with water well.* note n refers to the number of "carbon-hydrate" groups.

What is meant by alpha and beta carbohydrates?

The term Alpha and Beta carbohydrates refer to the configuration of the hydroxyl group on the anomeric carbon, or the number 1 carbon on aldoses, or the number 2 carbon in ketoses. If you are drawing the pyranose or furanose structures of these compounds, alpha refers to the hydroxyl group pointing down and beta refers to the hydroxyl being up.
