The reaction that is not explained by the open chain structure of glucose is:
(d) Existence of alpha and beta forms of glucose.
The open chain structure of glucose does not explain the existence of its alpha and beta forms, which are specific to the cyclic structure of glucose. In the open chain form, glucose exists as a straight-chain molecule, and the concept of alpha and beta forms is related to the cyclic structure of glucose.
