Beta is more stable. It is in the equatorial position. When glucose is in monomeric form this does not matter much but when polymerized. Alpha produces starch (OH Down) and Beta produces cellulose (OH UP).

Beta-fructose is more stable than alpha-fructose. This is because in beta-fructose, the OH group on carbon-1 is in the equatorial position, resulting in lower steric hindrance compared to alpha-fructose where the OH group is in the axial position. This makes beta-fructose less prone to mutarotation and degradation reactions.

What is a more stable atom between lithium and gold?
Gold is more stable.
Is neon more stable than carbon?
Neon is more stable than carbon because it has a full set of electrons in its outer shell, making it incredibly stable and unreactive. Carbon, on the other hand, can form a variety of bonds with other elements, making it more reactive and less stable compared to neon.
Why corroded metal is more stable than pure metal?
Corroded metal is not stable.
How stable are cis-trans isomerisms?
The cis-trans isomerism tend to be very stable. Typically, trans isomers are more stable however, an exception lies in cis-trans isomers which makes them more stable than trans isomers.
When elements are more stable in a combined formwhich forms?
Each element can form stable, less stable or unstable compounds.
When atoms combine to form compound do they become more stable or less stable?
More stable
What is a more stable atom between lithium and gold?
Gold is more stable.
How stable is the UK?
A t least as stable as, say, the USA or Canada, if not more stable. More stable than Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Congo. But not as stable as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar.
Do atoms that are stable need more electrons?
no. if the atom is stable it does not need to form any more compounds
Which is more stable three legs or four?
Three legs are more stable than 4 legs.
How can nitrogen become more chemically stable?
Nitrogen is sufficiently stable.
Is the Euro a stable currency?
More stable than the US dollar.
Are atoms more stable when combined?
In general, atoms are more stable when they are combined with other atoms to form compounds because this allows them to achieve a full outer electron shell, which is a more stable configuration. Atoms tend to be more reactive when they have incomplete outer shells.
Valence electrons found where?
Valence electron are found in the outer shell of an atom. Depending on the number of valence electrons, the atom is more or less stable: fewer => less stable and more => more stable (inert). Stable = less likely to react with other atoms.
Why do you think are we less stable than four-legged mammals?
Humans balance on two legs. This is less stable than balancing on four legs. The more legs you can lean on, the more stable you are. Centipedes are really stable!

How did Ramses make Egypt more stable?
Ramses made egypt more stable by being a ruler for 66 years
