The alpha carbon in organic chemistry refers to the first carbon that attaches to a functional group (the carbon is attached at the first, or alpha, position).[1] By extension, the second carbon is the beta carbon,[2] and so on.

Why do molecules of alpha glucose and beta glucose have different shapes?
because of the diffrence in the position of anomeric carbon atom left or right
What is alpha carbon?
The carbon atom to which four groups are attached either same or different.So every chiral carbon is alpha but every alpha is not a chiral carbon.
What is an alpha carbon?
In organic chemistry, an alpha carbon is the first carbon atom of an aliphatic chain which is attached to a functional group.
Is an alpha particle identical to the nucleus of a carbon atom?
No, it is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.
Why does alpha and beta decay more commonly occur in radioisotopes?
Because the less protons are in an atom the quicker it decays.

What is the difference between alpha and beta naphthol?
alpha naphthol with CCl4(carbon tetrachloride) gives blue colour whereas beta naphthol with CCl4 gives no colour. that is the distinction test between alpha and beta naphthol.
What is meant by alpha and beta carbohydrates?
The term Alpha and Beta carbohydrates refer to the configuration of the hydroxyl group on the anomeric carbon, or the number 1 carbon on aldoses, or the number 2 carbon in ketoses. If you are drawing the pyranose or furanose structures of these compounds, alpha refers to the hydroxyl group pointing down and beta refers to the hydroxyl being up.
What are AphaGamma Beta rays?
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rays are all types of radiating created and used in the splitting of an atom.
Where are the radioactive alpha beta and gamma radiation made?
The radiation originates in the atom, usually in the nucleus of the atom as a result of the atom being split.
Is an alpha particle identical to the nucleus of a carbon atom?
No, it is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.
What is adjacent atom and bond?
The adjacent carbon atom means the carbon atom next to, or beside, the atom of interest. For example, in an aldehyde, the carbon that has the double bond to oxygen is called the carbonyl carbon. The adjacent carbon is called the alpha (α) carbon.
Why does alpha and beta decay more commonly occur in radioisotopes?
Because the less protons are in an atom the quicker it decays.
What part of an atom do you measure in carbon dating?
The beta radiation of the isotope carbon-14 is measured.
When was Alpha Beta created?
Alpha Beta Alpha was created on 1950-05-03.
