Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the number of asymmetric carbon atoms in aldopentose, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the structure of aldopentose Aldopentose is a type of sugar that contains five carbon atoms and one aldehyde group. The general structure can be represented as follows: - The first carbon (C1) is part of the aldehyde group (CHO). - The remaining four carbons (C2, C3, C4, C5) are part of the carbon chain. ### Step 2: Draw the structure of aldopentose ...
