Explanation:
Presence of a straight chain of six carbon atoms: Glucose on prolonged heating with HI, forms n-hexane. This suggests that all the six carbon atoms are linked in a straight chain.
Presence of carbonyl group: Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime and adds a molecule of hydrogen cyanide to give cyanohydrin.
These are the characteristic reactions of carbonyl group indicate presence of carbonyl group in open glucose molecule.
