Answer 2

Answer:

Physical properties - any property used to characterize matter and energy and their interactions

Can be solid or liquid

Melting Point: 294.8˚F(146˚C)

Density: 1.54 g/cm³

Weight: 180.16 g/mol

Soluble in water and acetic acid

has a sweet taste

has no odor

all forms of glucose is colourless and is also clear

Chemical properties - a property used to characterize materials in reactions that change their identity

not toxic

highly combustible (powdered glucose is highly flammable and)

finely dispersed particles can become explosive when they are exposed to air

Can emit heat when it burns.

What does its properties have to do with its structure?

As you can see glucose is soluble in water because of its structure. Glucose has an OH bond in the molecule, which is polar. So the polar bond attracts to the polar bond in water.

Glucose's shape changes depending on its temperature

The covalent polar bonds can be broken down easily hence why glucose can dissolve in water.
