What is the correct chemical formula of glucose?
A
C6H12O6
B
C6H12O
C
C2H12O6
D
C6H6O6
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical formula of Glucose is C6H12O6. Glucose is a monosaccharide containing an aldehyde group (-CHO). It is made of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms. Glucose is an aldohexose.

Detailed explanation-2: -The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The empirical formula for C6 H12 O6 is CH2 O. To find the empirical number for this molecule, a typical glucose molecule, we need to find the greatest common denominator for all the numbers in the molecular formula. In this case, the numbers are 6, 12, and 6.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose (C6H12O6) is one of the most important monosaccharides, which is synthesized during photosynthesis and serves as the ‘fuel’ and source of energy, stored as a polymer glycogen in animals and as starch in plants.
