Glucose falls under aldoses group of monosaccharides which are one of the carbohydrates.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Generally, a molecule formed by combination of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are termed as carbohydrates. The smallest of the saccharides are mono and disaccharides. The saccharides can contain an aldehyde or a ketone group in their structural formula.

The molecular formula of glucose is C6H12O6. It falls under monosaccharide as the molecular formula of monosaccharides are (CH2nO)n where the n will be 3,5 or 6. So the molecular formula of glucose exactly matches with the molecular formula of monosaccharide family.  

Also, it is known that glucose contains an aldehyde so it can be termed as aldose for being a carbohydrate in monosaccharide family containing aldehyde group.

Answer:

<em>Glucose is nothing but a type of carbohydrate molecule which is also called as </em><em>monosaccharides.</em>

Explanation:

They are the smallest unit or simplest part of Carbohydrates which accumulates and join together to make bigger molecules of carbohydrates, Since these are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

These three elements mix together in given parts to make this smallest part of Carbohydrates or sugar. The Other bigger carbohydrates that are formed with these three elements are disaccharides or sucrose.

Why is an alloy is often more useful than a pure metal
mrs_skeptik [129]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A pure metal has specific properties. Sometimes we need that metal but with modified properties. So for the modification of properties we make alloys.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>
  • An alloy is a mixture of two elements, one of which is a metal.
  • Alloys often have properties that are different to the metals they contain.
  • This makes them more useful than the pure metals alone.
  • For example, alloys are often harder than the metal they contain.

How will you describe the behavior of dry ice?​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation: A square of dry ice has a surface temperature of - 109.3 degrees Fahrenheit (- 78.5 degrees C). Dry ice additionally has the extremely decent component of sublimation - as it separates, it transforms legitimately into carbon dioxide gas as opposed to a fluid.

Which of the following compounds contains the Lead (II) ion?<br> PbO<br> PbCl4<br> Pb2O<br> Pb2S
KATRIN_1 [288]
<span>PbO Let's look at each of the 4 compounds and see what's needed. PbO. * Oxygen has a valance shell that's missing 2 electrons and wants to get those 2 elections. Lead donates them, so you have a Lead (II) ions. This is a correct choice. PbCl4 * Chlorine wants to grab 1 electron to fill it's valance shell and Lead donates that election. However, there's 4 chlorine atoms and every one of them wants and electron, and lead is donating all 4 of the desired electrons making the Lead (IV) ion. So this is a bad choice. Pb2O * Oxygen still wants 2 electrons and gets them from the lead. But there's 2 lead atoms and each of them donates 1 election making for 2 Lead(I) ions. So this too is a bad choice. Pb2S * Sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table as oxygen and if this compound were to exist would have similar properties as Pb2O and would have Lead(I) ions. So this is a bad choice.</span>
