Answer 1

Answer:

In stereochemistry, stereoisomerism, or spatial isomerism, is a form of isomerism in which molecules have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.

With 1 chiral center, there are 2 isomers, 2 chiral centers, 4 possible isomers, 3 centers, 8 isomers and 4 centers, 16 possible stereoisomers. ... Glucose has four chiral carbons in its aldehyde form, and so there are 24, or 16 possible stereoisomers of this formula, only one of which is dextrose [(+)-glucose].
