Chapter 20.4, Problem 8P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for ketoheptose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same molecular formula but they differ in the arrangement of molecules in space.  Enantiomers are the molecules that are non-superimposable on one another.

The number of possible stereoisomers is calculated as 2n where n is the number of asymmetric carbons present in a compound.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for aldoheptose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same molecular formula but they differ from the arrangement of molecules in the space.  Enantiomers are the molecules that are non-superimposable on one another.

The number of possible stereoisomers is calculated as 2n where n is the number of asymmetric carbons present in a compound.

c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for a ketotriose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same molecular formula but they differ from the arrangement of molecules in the space.  Enantiomers are the molecules that are non-superimposable on one another.
