The general formula of carbohydrates is C x( H 2 O )y and these were considered as the hydrates of carbon. Molecular formula of glucose ( C 6 H 12 O 6) fits into this general formula C 6( H 2 O )6.

Q. Which of the following statement(s) is/are false about carbohydrates?
I. It has general formula, $C_{x} (H_{2} O)_{y}$ .
II. They are hydrates of carbon.
III. The molecular formula of glucose is $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ and general formula is $C_{6} (H_{2} O)_{6}$ .
Choose the correct option.

Only I

Only II

II and III

Only III

The general formula of carbohydrates is $C_{x} (H_{2} O)_{y}$ and these were considered as the hydrates of carbon. Molecular formula of glucose $(C_{6} H_{12} O_{6})$ fits into this general formula $C_{6} (H_{2} O)_{6}$ .
