(HO-C-H)_3 हे संयुक ____________ आहे आणि ह्यात प्रतिबिंबिरूपितांच्या ____________ जोड्या आहेत. / The compound (HO-C-H)_3 is a ____________ and has ____________ pairs of optical isomers.

1)किटोहेक्सोज, 4 / Ketohexose, 4&check; Correct

2)किटोहेक्सोज, 8 / Ketohexose, 8

3)अल्डोहेक्सोज, 4 / Aldohexose, 4

4)अल्डोहेक्सोज, 8 / Aldohexose, 8

The condensed formula represents a ketohexose (6 carbons with a keto group). Based on stereochemistry, a ketohexose with 3 asymmetric centers has 4 pairs of optical isomers (enantiomers).

खालीलपैकी कोणती संयुगे प्रकाशीीय क्रियाशीलता दाखवतील ? / Which of the following compounds will show optical activity ?

1)फक्त A आणि B / Only A and B

2)फक्त A आणि C / Only A and C&check; Correct

3)फक्त B आणि C / Only B and C

4)वरील सर्व / All of the above

Optical activity requires the presence of chiral carbon atoms (asymmetric carbons bonded to four different groups). Compounds A and C possess chiral centers, hence they show optical activity.
