A
The carbohydrates have the same properties because they have the same number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
B)
The carbohydrates have the same properties because they each have a single carbon-oxygen double bond.
The carbohydrates have different properties because they have different arrangements of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
D
The carbohydrates have different properties because they have different numbers of carbon-carbon bonds.

The carbohydrates (fructose, galactose and glucose) have different properties because they have different arrangements of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

MONOSACCHARIDES:

  • Monosaccharides are simple sugars that contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements. Monosaccharides are monomeric units and have a range from 3 to 7 carbons in their structure.

  • The three most common monosaccharides are fructose, galactose and glucose. These three monosaccharides all have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6) but they are arranged distinctly.

  • The structural arrangements of the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms differ in the three sugars. This accounts for their different chemical properties.

Hence, the carbohydrates (fructose, galactose and glucose) have different properties because they have different arrangements of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
