How do you explain the presence of all the six carbon atoms in glucose in a straight chain?

Ans. Glucose on heating with HI produces n-hexane.

$CHO$
$|$
${(CHOH)}_{4} \to_{∆}^{HI} {CH}_{3} - {CH}_{2} - \underset{n - hexane}{{CH}_{2}} - {CH}_{2} - {CH}_{2} - {CH}_{3}$
$|$
$\underset{Glucose}{{CH}_{2} OH}$

This suggests that the six carbon atoms of glucose are linked in a straight chain.
