If D-glucose is levorotatory,then L-glucose must be levorotatory as well.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

D-glucose is dextrorotatory, meaning it rotates plane-polarized light to the right. The terms D- and L- refer to the configuration around the chiral center farthest from the aldehyde or ketone group, not the direction of optical rotation. L-glucose, being the mirror image of D-glucose, would rotate light in the opposite direction, making it levorotatory.
