Osazones formation test involves the reaction of a reducing sugar with excess of phenylhydrazine when kept at boiling temperature.
The reaction involves formation of a pair of phenylhydrazone functionalities, concomitant with the oxidation of the hydroxymethyl group in alpha carbon.
Osazones<span> are a class of carbohydrate derivatives found in organic chemistry formed when sugars are reacted with excess of phenylhydrazine. The famous German chemist Emil Fischer developed and used the reaction to identify sugars whose stereochemistry differed by only one chiral carbon</span>
Answer: The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element. In our example, krypton's atomic number is 36. This tells us that an atom of krypton has 36 protons in its nucleus.
