Chapter 13: Q. 13.31 (page 450)

What are the kind and number of atoms in the ring portion of the Haworth structure of glucose?

Short Answer

Expert verified

In the cyclic shape of glucose, there are 5carbon atoms and an oxygen atom

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

A Haworth projection is a not unusual place manner of writing a structural method to symbolize the cyclic shape of monosaccharides with an easy third-dimensional perspective.

02

Purpose of projection

  • Haworth projections are usually used to depict cyclic sugars.
  • Sugars shape a six-membered ring and they have numerous stereocenters.
  • In order to differentiate among varieties of sugars, it's miles essential to have an easy manner to attract the sugar molecules whilst retaining the orientation of the OH attachments.
03

Explanation

Glucose has 5carbon atoms and one oxygen atom in its cyclic shape.
