JEE Main 2024 — 9 April, Shift 2 — Question 62

The incorrect statement about Glucose is :

Option A:
Glucose is soluble in water because of having aldehyde functional group
Correct
Option B:
Glucose remains in multiple isomeric form in its aqueous solution
Option C:
Glucose is an aldohexose
Option D:
Glucose is one of the monomer unit in sucrose

Answer: A

Glucose is soluble in water due to presence of alcohol functional group and extensive hydrogen bonding. Glucose exist is

open chain as well as cyclic forms in its aqueous solution.

Glucose having 6C atoms so it is hexose and having aldehyde functional group so it is aldose. Thus, aldohexose. Glucose is

monomer unit in sucrose with fructose.
