Q. Number of possible isomers (stereoisomers) of $D-$ glucose are:

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

Solution
Chiral centers are four so 24 = 16 stereoisomers. Hence, 16 isomers are for glucose, and half of them will be for D-glucose and other half for L-glucose. D and L are relative configurations of sugars.
