Carbohydrates, also known as saccharides, are organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with a general formula of CnH2nOn. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates, characterized by their crystalline structure, solubility in water, and sweet taste, with stereoisomerism being a key feature due to the presence of asymmetric carbon atoms. Enantiomers are a specific type of stereoisomer that are mirror images of one another.
