Assume all you know about a compound is that the name is (+)-d-glucose and select all true statements. (i.e., do NOT look up information about the structure. Use the name only.)
It is chiral.
It has one chiral center.
The enantiomer rotates plane-polarized light counterclockwise.
It has three diastereomers.
It rotates plane-polarized light clockwise.
Select ALL meso compounds.
