$I 	o (-)$-glyceraldehyde is said to have $L$-configuration; $II 	o (+)$-glyceraldehyde is said to have $D$-configuration.

Vedclass · Answer

(NONE) Structure $I$ is $L$-glyceraldehyde,which is levorotatory $(-)$.Structure $II$ is $D$-glyceraldehyde,which is dextrorotatory $(+)$.Both structures contain one chiral carbon atom (stereogenic centre).Both are enantiomers of each other.Option $D$ states: $I 	o (-)$-glyceraldehyde is $L$-configuration and $II 	o (+)$-glyceraldehyde is $D$-configuration. This is a correct statement.Wait,let's re-evaluate the options. Actually,all statements $A, B, C, D$ are factually correct. However,in many textbook contexts,the question might be flawed or intended to test specific nomenclature. Let's re-examine: $I$ is $L-(-)$-glyceraldehyde and $II$ is $D-(+)$-glyceraldehyde. All statements are true. If this is a multiple-choice question where one must be false,there might be a typo in the provided options. Given the standard chemistry,all these statements are true.

Which of the following statements is false about the given structures?
