A structural isomer is when molecules have the same formula, but a different structure. Glucose is a structural isomer because Pyruvate and Ribose have the same formula (CH2O), but have a different number of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens:
C3H6O3 - Pyruvate
C5H10O5 - Ribose
C6H12O6 - Glucose
Hope this helps! :)
What else can I help you with?
Is Glucose and Fructose a geometric isomer?
Nope. They are structural isomers.
Is dimethyl ether a structural isomer?
Yes it is. It's structural isomer is ethanol C2H5OH
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 glucoes formula?
Glucose is C6H12O6 For your own curiosity; sucrose is C12H22O11 fructose is also C6H12O6 but it is structural isomer of glucose.
Is H2O an isomer?
No, H2O (water) is not considered an isomer. Isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. Water does not have other structural arrangements that would make it an isomer of itself.
What is the difference between an isomer and a constitutional isomer?
An isomer is a molecule with the same chemical formula but different structural arrangement of atoms. A constitutional isomer is a type of isomer where the atoms are connected in a different order.
What is a monoscheride that is an isomer of glucose?
The monosaccharides fructose and galactose are isomers of glucose.
What is molecular formula for fructose?
Fructose or fruit Sugar (also levulose or laevulose) is a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. It is an isomer of glucose, meaning both have the same molecular formula (C6H12O6), but they differ structurally. Glucose is an aldehyde i.s.o. ketone.For structural formula cf. 'Related links'
Is aldehyde structural isomer of ketone?
Yes, aldehyde is a structural isomer of a ketone. Both aldehydes and ketones contain a carbonyl group, but in aldehydes, the carbonyl group is located at the end of the carbon chain, while in ketones, it is located within the carbon chain.
Is isobutanol a structural isomer of 1- butanol and 2-butanol?
Isobutanol is an organic compound that has a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic smell. It is a structural isomer of 2-butanol.
What is the structural isomer of 2-methylbutane?
The structural isomer of 2-methylbutane is pentane. Both 2-methylbutane and pentane have the same molecular formula, C5H12, but differ in the arrangement of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Is Glucose and Fructose a functional isomer?
Yes. Glucose is an isomer of fructose and vice versa. Both have the molecular formula C6H12O6. Isomers are compounds with the same number of different elements per molecule but differ in, for example, their structural formulae.
