Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The most stable arrangement of substituents on the six-membered ring by using chair form is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Glucose is a monosaccharide. It is made by the plants during the process of photosynthesis. The molecular formula of glucose is ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The chair form of glucose is to be converted into wedge-dash representation.
