A) enantiomers
B) diastereomers
C) geometric isomers
D) both A and C
E) both B and C
Diastereomers
Stereoisomers which aren't each other's mirror reflections and possess distinct physical characteristics.
Geometric Isomers
Molecules with the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differing in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.
- Identify the structural relationships between stereoisomers including enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers (cis-trans), and meso compounds.
