Question

difference between enantiomers or diastereomer. (any 5)​

Answer 1

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.
