What is Diasteromer and enansiomer

Question

Accepted Answer

Diastereomers and enantiomers are types of stereoisomers that differ in their spatial arrangement.

Diastereomers are stereoisomers that have different configurations at one or more chiral centers but are not mirror images of each other.
Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
Diastereomers have different physical and chemical properties, while enantiomers have identical physical properties but may differ in their biological activity.
An example of diastereomers is the pair of 2,3-dibromobutane and 2,3-dichlorobutane.
An example of enantiomers is the pair of (+)-limonene and (-)-limonene.

Accepted Answer

Enantiomers are stereoisomer that are mirror images of each other,

Diastereomers stereoisomer that are not mirror images of each other.
