Consider the two monosaccharides shown below. Select all the terms that can be applied to these two molecules.

Solution

The monosaccharide shown are D-mannose and D-glucose.

They have same structural formula:C6H12O6. Thus they are isomers.

They differ only at C2. Thus they are epimers. All epimers are diastereoisomers => they are stereoisomers.

Thus correct options are:

1,3,4,7. (Epimers, isomers, diastereoisomers, stereoisomers).
