How many enantiomers does glucose have?
Zoe AlexanderGlucose has one enantiomer.
The only enantiomer of any chiral compound is present.
Diastereomers are any other stereoisomers.

Easton JonesGlucose has 2^n enantiomers, where 'n' is the number of chiral centers in the molecule. Glucose has four chiral centers, so it has 2^4 = 16 enantiomers. However, due to symmetry, glucose has only three unique pairs of enantiomers: D-glucose and L-glucose, D-mannose and L-mannose, and D-galactose and L-galactose. Therefore, glucose has 8 enantiomeric pairs.

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.
