Question

Explain:
1. Why sucrose is a non reducing sugar?
2. What is an invert sugar?

What is polymerisation​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Glycosidic bond formation is involved in the reducing groups of glucose and fructose so sucrose is a non reducing sugar.

2. Sucrose is dextrorotatory. When it is hydrolysed dextrorotatory glucose and laevorotatory fructose is formed. It is observed that the laevorotation of fructose is more than the dextrorotation of glucose. So the mixture becomes laevorotatory. Hence hydrolysis brings a change in dextrorotatory to laevorotatory sucrose, so the product is named as an invert sugar.

POLYMERISATION

⭐The method or process of formation of polymers from their monomers is known as polymerisation. Example - formation of polyethene from ethene.

Answer 2

Hey mate....

here's the answer...

1)) Sucrose is a non reducing sugar because it's OH group is not attached to the anomeric carbon so they cannot reduce the compounds.

2. Invert sugar can be simply defined as mixture of fructose and glucose which is readily obtained by hydrolysis of sucrose.

Polymerization --- Polymerization is the process of putting molecules all in clutch so that it becomes a chain of molecules with the presence of a catalyst...
