The given structures (I) and (II) represent configuration of the simplest sugar glyceraldehyde . Which of the following statements is not correct for the structures ?
`underset((I))(H-underset(CH_(2)OH)underset(|)overset(CHO)overset(|)C-OH) " " underset((II)) (HO-underset(CH_(2)OH)underset(|)overset(CHO)overset(|)C-H)`

A

(I) represents D-form while (II) represents L-form of glyceraldehyde .

B

The sugars having same configuration as D-glyceraldehyde are designated as D-sugars.

C

Natural glucose and fructose are D-Sugars.

D

D is dextrorotatory while L is laevorotatory enantiomer.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the configurations of glyceraldehyde, we will analyze the structures provided and evaluate the statements related to them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - Structure (I) represents D-glyceraldehyde. - Structure (II) represents L-glyceraldehyde. 2. **Understand the Configuration**: - In D-glyceraldehyde, the hydroxyl (OH) group on the penultimate carbon (the second last carbon) is on the right side. - In L-glyceraldehyde, the hydroxyl (OH) group on the penultimate carbon is on the left side. 3. **Analyze the Statements**: - The question asks which statement is NOT correct regarding these structures. - Statements typically include: - D-glyceraldehyde has the OH group on the right. - L-glyceraldehyde has the OH group on the left. - D and L configurations are related to the optical activity (dextrorotatory and levorotatory). - The D and L designations are based on the configuration of the penultimate carbon. 4. **Evaluate Optical Activity**: - D-glyceraldehyde is dextrorotatory (rotates plane-polarized light to the right). - L-glyceraldehyde is levorotatory (rotates plane-polarized light to the left). - However, the terms "D" and "L" refer to the configuration, not the optical activity directly. 5. **Identify the Incorrect Statement**: - The statement that may be incorrect is one that confuses the D and L configuration with their optical activity. - For example, stating that D refers to dextrorotatory and L refers to levorotatory is misleading because D and L are based on the configuration of the molecule rather than its optical activity. ### Conclusion: The statement that is NOT correct regarding the structures of glyceraldehyde is likely the one that confuses the D and L nomenclature with their optical activity.
