Structure and properties of
glucose and fructose
Chemical Properties – Glucose is the name of a particular chemical compound.
The only constituent of glucose is glucose.
Monosaccharides cannot be broken into simple CHO upon hydrolysis and
they have 3 to 7 carbon atoms in their molecules.
Oligosaccharides are made up of 2 to 10 units of monosaccharides or simple sugar.
The general formula of polysaccharides is (C6H10O5)n; here. n = 100-300
The monosaccharides which have aldehyde (—CHO) group in their structure is
called aldose and the monosaccharides which contain ketone (>C=O) group in their
structure is called ketose. Glucose, riboses are aldose: fructose is a ketose.
Glucose contains four asymmetrical carbon atoms in its structure. If not you mean
which subatomic particles create the atoms in a glucose molecule: protons,
neutrons, electrons.
It is not toxic and highly combustible (powdered glucose is extremely flammable).
I can produce heat when it burns. And it flimsily dispersed particles can become
volatile when they are exposed to air.
