Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6) but have different arrangements of their atoms, making them structural isomers. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, enantiomers are mirror images of each other, and cis-trans isomers have different spatial arrangements of groups around a double bond. None of these terms apply to glucose and fructose.
