Why are(±)-glucose and (-)-glucose both classified as D sugar​

Chemistry
1 answer:
vazorg [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We must remember that the D / L nomenclature refers to the orientation of the hydroxyl group on carbon 5. If the "OH" is on the right we will have a D configuration. Yes, the "OH" is on the left we will have an L configuration. (See figure 1)

Now, the orientation of this "OH" has nothing to do with the ability of the molecule to deflect polarized light. If the molecule deflects light to the left we will have the symbol "(-)" (levorotation) if the molecule deflects light to the right we will have the symbol "(+)" (dextrorotation).

So in the "D" configuration, we can have both a right (+) and a left (-) deviation.

I hope it helps!

In a fluorine atom, on which energy level are the valence electrons found?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

second energy level

Explanation:

Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in outer most orbital of the atom.

This can be easily found through the electronic configuration of atom.

Electronic configuration of F:

F₉ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

We can see that the valence electrons are present in second energy level of F atom.

There are seven valence electrons of fluorine.

It is called halogens.

Halogens are very reactive these elements can not be found free in nature. Their boiling points also increases down the group which changes their physical states. i.e fluorine is gas while iodine is solid.

Fluorine:

1. it is yellow in color.

2. it is flammable gas.

3. it is highly corrosive.

4. fluorine has pungent smell.

5. its reactions with all other elements are very vigorous except neon, oxygen, krypton and helium.

Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the past.

Fossils are important evidence for evolution because they show that life on earth was once different from life found on earth today.

Usually only a portion of an organism is preserved as a fossil, such as body fossils (bones and exoskeletons ), trace fossils (feces and footprints), and chemofossils (biochemical signals).

Paleontologists can determine the age of fossils using methods like radiometric dating and categorize them to determine the evolutionary relationships between organisms.

To synthesize information means to A. read or view it objectively. B. take it apart and examine it. C. eliminate it as irrelevan
swat32

Answer:

The correct answer is "D".

Explanation:

The synthesis consists of extracting the most important data from a text or any source of information. To be able to synthesize it is necessary to read, understand and interpret the message or arguments presented. Once these factors have been extracted, they are brought together to form a coherent text that in a few words explains the original text.

Have a nice day!
