Answers
Answer:
1. How many atoms of C, H and O are
respectively present in a molecule of
glucose?
It has hydrogen and oxygen which are in the ratio 2:1 and totally 6 atoms of carbon and 12 atoms of hydrogen and 6 atoms of oxygen found in the molecule of glucose. Every glucose molecule should contain one atom of each carbon and making glucose an aldohexose.
2. Which types of chemical bonds are
present between all these atoms?
There are generally 3 types of bonds these are :-
Ionic bond ⇒ Formed between generally metals and non-metals.
Covalent bond ⇒ Formed between atoms of same category or same atoms by sharing of electrons.
Co-ordinate bond ⇒ Formed when only oneatom shares its electron with other atom.
3. In terms of Chemistry what happens
actually when a molecules is oxidized?
There is a movement of electrons from the metal to the oxygen molecules during this process. The negative oxygen ions generated enter the metal & leads to the creation of an oxide surface. Thus, oxidation is a form of metal corrosion.

Explanation:
Covalent bonds are present between all atoms in a
molecule of glucose
