Explore its structure
Choose a part to light it up.
A C=O with a carbon on each side. Its oxygen accepts hydrogen bonds but has no hydrogen to give, and it resists oxidation better than an aldehyde.
From: standard chemistry.
An O-H on a carbon that is not part of an aromatic ring, the group that makes a molecule an alcohol. It both gives and accepts hydrogen bonds, which helps the molecule mix with water.
From: standard chemistry.
One carbon bonded to two oxygens, each joined in turn to another carbon. It is the kind of link that joins sugars together: it stands up to bases, and acid splits it.
From: standard chemistry.
