Answer:
Enantiomer:
- They are non superimposable stereoisomers.
- They are mirror images of each other.
- They are present as Racemic Mixture or D-L mixture.
- They do not form meso compounds.
- Two enantiomers have similar physical and chemical properties.
Diastereomers:
- They are non superimposable stereoisomers.
- They are not mirror images of each other.
- They are not present as Racemic Mixture, but they are present in different proportions of D-L mixture.
- They form meso compounds
- Two diastereomers dont have similar physical and chemical properties.
These are some of the distinguishable differences. The first point is a point of similarity between the two stereoisomers.
