Solution: Classify the following monosaccharide in terms of functional group and number of carbon atoms. KetotrioseAldotriose Ketotetrose Ketopentose Aldohexose

Problem
Classify the following monosaccharide in terms of functional group and number of carbon atoms. 
Ketotriose
Aldotriose 
Ketotetrose 
Ketopentose 
Aldohexose

Solution

First clue for this is that there's an internal carbonyl which tells us that there is a keto group.
