Number of chiral carbons in $\beta-\mathrm{D}-(+)-$ glucose is
Number of chiral carbons in $\beta-\mathrm{D}-(+)-$ glucose is
There
Four
Five
Six
Solution
As seen in image above, there are four chiral carbons in \(\beta\) - \(D(+)\)-glucose.A chiral carbon has four different groups attached. -D-Glucose has no plane of symmetry, so all the carbon atoms are different. There are four chiral carbons.
