Question

Accepted Answer

Enantiomers and diastereomers are types of stereoisomers that differ in their spatial arrangement.

Enantiomers are mirror images of each other and cannot be superimposed on each other.
Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other.
Enantiomers have opposite optical rotations and identical physical properties.
Diastereomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Examples of enantiomers include L-alanine and D-alanine, while examples of diastereomers include cis/trans isomers and meso compounds.
