Q

Phenomenon in which a molecule forms isomers that have the same composition but that differ in the orientation of those parts in space.

A

Stereoisomerism

20
Q

two kinds of stereoisomers

A

enantiomers and diastereomers.

21
Q

pair of molecules that exist in two forms that are mirror images of one another but cannot be superimposed one upon the other.

A

ENANTIOMERS

22
Q

are not related as object and mirror image and are notenantiomers. Unlike enatiomers whichare mirror imagesof each other andnon-sumperimposable, diastereomers arenot mirror imagesof each other andnon-superimposable

A

DIASTERIOMERS

23
Q

the structure of Glucose can be represented in 3 ways

A
  1. Straight-chain Form
  2. Cyclic Structure (Fisher-Haworth Projection)
  3. Chair Form (3D Form)
24
Q

the Cyclic Projection of the structure of Glucose

A

Fisher-Haworth Projection

25
thermodynamically stable the molecules viewed from the side and above the plane of the ring; the bonds nearest to the viewer are bold and thickened, and the hydroxyl groups are above or below the plane of the ring.
Fisher-Haworth Projection
26
is an isomer of glucose that has -OH group present on the first carbon atom is on the same side as that of the CH2OH molecule group. 
Alpha Glucose 
27
is also an isomer of D-glucose in which the -OH group placed on the first carbon atom is placed on the opposite side of the CH2OH group.
Beta Glucose
28
When the –OH group is on the right, the sugar is
D-isomer (DEXTRO)
29
When the –OH group is o the left, the sugar
L-isomer (LEVO)
30
Isomers differing as a result of variations in configuration of the –OH and –H groups on carbon atoms 2, 3, and 4 of glucose
Epimers
31
epimerized at Carbon 4
Galactose
32
epimerized at Carbon 2
