Summary Introduction
To review:
The reasons for which the following structures of galactose and mannose are considered as isomers, and the type and properties of the
Introduction:
Isomers are those compounds, which have same chemical formula, but different orientations of atoms and molecules. Mannose and galactose are isomers since the chemical formula for both are same. Both of them form the structural isomers.
