The term carbohydrate is derived from the French    term : hydrate de

carbone

 Compounds composed of C, H, and O


 Empirical formula (CH2O)n    when n = 5 then C5H10O5

Not all carbohydrates have this empirical formula: e.g.


deoxysugars, amino sugars etc

Carbohydrates are the most abundant compounds found in nature


(cellulose: 100 billion tons annually)
-They have large number of hydroxyl groups (polyhydroxy)


-In addition they may contain-an aldehyde group
(polyhydroxyaldehydes) or a keto group-(polyhydroxyketones).

-Their derivatives may also contain nitrogen, phosphorus or sulfur.
