Glucose (C6H12O6) is a monosaccharide that contains twelve hydrogen atoms, six carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms. A glucose and fructose molecule combine to create a sucrose molecule.
There are 27 carbon atoms in a molecule of cholesterol. 10 are not contained in the rings.
Tertiary carbons are carbons that are directly bonded to three other carbon atoms in a molecule. They are typically more sterically hindered and less reactive compared to primary or secondary carbons due to the presence of three alkyl groups.
Ethanol has a chemical formula C2H5OH. Definitely, 2 carbons.
Saturated carbons are carbons that form single bonds with other atoms, typically hydrogen. This means each carbon is bonded to the maximum number of atoms possible, leading to a stable molecular structure. In saturated hydrocarbons, all carbons are saturated with hydrogens, and the molecule does not contain any double or triple bonds.
The answer is 4
The 2nd and 3rd carbon in galactose are asymmetric because they are attached to four different groups or atoms, making them chiral centers. This asymmetry at these carbons gives rise to different stereoisomers of galactose.
Galactose is C6H12O6
Each molecule of galactose contain 6 carbon atoms.
Ribose, CHO(CHOH)3CH2OH, is an aldopentose with three chiral carbon atoms . .............H O ...............\ // ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ................H
The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms in galactose is 2:1. In the molecular formula of galactose, C6H12O6, there are 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.
12 carbons...
Oxaloacetic acid is C4H4O5 and has four carbons
there are 4 carbons in oxaloacetic acid
pentane has five carbons
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) has 3 carbon atoms.
Pyruvic acid is C3H4O3 and has 3 carbon atoms.
The molecular formula is C5 H6 O5 so it it has 5 carbons.
