Aldohexoses have 4 chiral centers, or 16 (24) stereoisomers possible. Does that mean they have 16 individual sugar names?
Yes, there are 16 individual sugar names.
An aldohexose has four chiral centres.
So there are
The 8 D-aldohexoses are shown below.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
