Intramolecular hydrogen bonding (i.e. hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom in one part of the molecule with an electronegative atom like oxygen or nitrogen in…

Muta-rotation: α-and β-forms show specific rotation of + 113° of glucose and + 19° respectively. It is the change in the optical rotation because of…

Dispersion forces depend on two aspects of molecular (or atomic) structure. First, they increase in magnitude with the size and number of electrons and protons…

Dipole-induced dipole force (London forces or dispersion forces) A dipole–induced dipole attraction is a weak attraction that results when a polar molecule induces a dipole…

The structure of glucose molecule can be identified by the following reactions: (i) The structural formula of glucose C6H12O6 (ii) Reduction: Being reduced by HI,…

Ionic Interactions Electrostatic interactions occur between ions resulting in the formation of strong ionic bonds. These bonds are formed when metals atoms transfer their valence…

Dipole — Dipole interactions: Dipole-dipole interactions were first described by Willem Hendrick Keesom in 1921. These are the forces that occur between two polar molecules…

Dipole-induced dipole interactions: Dipole-induced dipole interaction involves the attraction between temporally induced dipoles in non-polar molecules. This polarization can be induced either (a) by a…

Intermolecular Forces Intermolecular forces are defined as the set of attractive and repulsive forces that occur between the molecules as a result of the polarity…

Glucose is a monosaccharide, which is another term for simple sugar. It is one of three monosaccharides that are used by the body, but it…
