Assertion: Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime and also adds a molecule of hydrogen cyanide to give cyanohydrin.
Reason: The carbonyl group is present in the open chain structure of glucose.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

C

A is true but R is false

D

A is false and R is True

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime and also adds a molecule of hydrogen cyanide to give cyanohydrin which confirms the presence of the carbonyl group in the open chain structure of glucose.
