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.

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

$10$

$14$

$8$

$20$

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.
