Q
How many stereomers are
possible for Glucose?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16

There are two enantiomers of glucose, called D-glucose and L-glucose. The D-enantiomer is the common sugar that our bodies use for energy. It has n = 4 stereocenters, so therefore there are 2 n = 2 4 = 16 possible stereoisomers (including D-glucose itself).

Answer 2

Answer:

2 n = 2 × 4 = 16 possible stereoisomers
