Difference between Carbohydrate and Chirality (chemistry)

Carbohydrate vs. Chirality (chemistry)

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words, with the empirical formula (where m may be different from n). Chirality is a geometric property of some molecules and ions.

Similarities between Carbohydrate and Chirality (chemistry)

Carbohydrate and Chirality (chemistry) have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Dextrorotation and levorotation, Enantiomer, Isomer, Stereoisomerism, Sugar.

Dextrorotation and levorotation

Dextrorotation and levorotation (also spelled as laevorotation)The first word component dextro- comes from Latin word for dexter "right (as opposed to left)".

Enantiomer

In chemistry, an enantiomer, also known as an optical isomer (and archaically termed antipode or optical antipode), is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other that are non-superposable (not identical), much as one's left and right hands are the same except for being reversed along one axis (the hands cannot be made to appear identical simply by reorientation).

Stereoisomerism

In stereochemistry, stereoisomers are isomeric molecules that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.
