How do you explain the presence of all the six carbon atoms in glucose in a straight chain?

Options

  1. AGlucose adopts a straight-chain conformation through intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
  2. BGlucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime
  3. COn prolonged heating with HI, glucose gives n-hexane.
  4. DGlucose gets oxidised to six carbon carboxylic acid (gluconic acid) on reaction with a mild oxidising agent li

Correct answer

C. On prolonged heating with HI, glucose gives n-hexane.

Step-by-step solution
