What is structural isomers
Due to diff attachment of group of atoms in molecule
What is geometrical isomers
Due ti diff SPATIAL attachment of group of atoms in molecule
What is optical isomers
Compound which exist in two forms whose structure are mirror image
Why in aqueous solution pentose and hexose form rings
More stable

What is reducing sugar
Ability of sugar to reduce copper valency in benedict’s or Fehling’s solution
Colour change if reducing sugar present
Blue solution to brick red precipitate
Ionic eq in reducing sugar
Cu2+ + e = Cu+
Reducing sugar is due to presence of
Aldehyde or ketone group (free OH) on the anomeric C of sugar
