identify the pair as being enantiomers or diastereomers. a. enantiomers b. diastereomers
identify the pair as being enantiomers or diastereomers. a. enantiomers b. diastereomers
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Enantiomers are non - superimposable mirror images, while diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not enantiomers. In the given pair, the two molecules are not mirror images of each other. They have different configurations at some, but not all, chiral centers. Diastereomers have different physical properties. Since these are not mirror images, they are diastereomers.
Answer:
B. diastereomers
