Which of the following is the correct structure of L-Glucose ?
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Understanding the Structure of L-Glucose:
L-Glucose is the enantiomer of D-Glucose, which means it has the same structure as D-Glucose but with opposite configurations at each chiral center.
In L-Glucose, the -OH groups are positioned in such a way that it is a mirror image of D-Glucose.
Analyzing the Structure:
For L-Glucose, the configuration of the hydroxyl (-OH) groups should be as follows from top to bottom:
- CHO group at the top.
- -OH on the left for the second, fourth, and fifth carbons.
- -OH on the right for the third carbon.
- CH2OH group at the bottom.
Matching the Correct Structure:
Based on the given configurations, Option (1) matches the structure of L-Glucose.
Conclusion:
The correct structure of L-Glucose is represented by Option (1).

- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
