Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Even though their atoms are bonded together in the same order, they have a different three-dimensional organization of atoms around one of their asymmetric carbon atoms Thus we can say that fructose is a structural isomer of galactose and glucose and galactose is a stereoisomer of glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -The isomers glucose, galactose, and fructose all have the same chemical formula, C6H12O2.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose and fructose are chain isomers.
