Answer to Problem 4.25P
The Lewis structure for an aldetetrose is
Explanation of Solution
Aldotetrose is a mono-saccharide. The name “aldo” indicates that the carbonyl group must be present at the terminal carbon atom, while the word “tetrose” indicates a chain of four carbon atoms. Thus, aldotetrose is a sugar having an

Answer to Problem 4.25P
The Lewis structure for an aldetriose is
Explanation of Solution
Aldotriose is a type of mono-saccharide. The name “aldo”’ indicates that the carbonyl group must be present at the terminal carbon atom, while the word “triose” indicates a chain of three carbon atoms. Thus, aldotriose is a sugar having an aldehyde group at the terminal carbon atom, and the structure must have three carbon chain. The general molecular formula for mono-saccharides is
The molecular formula for the above structure is
Altetrose is a mono-saccharide having a carbonyl group at the terminal carbon atom, and its molecular formula is
