The stereoisomers which are not mirror images of each other are called as...
Correct answer: C. Diastereomers
- A. Epimers
- B. Conformers
- C. Diastereomers
- D. None of these
Explanation
Diastereomers Diastereomers are the stereoisomers that are non identical,do not have mirror images,and hence are non-superimposable on each other.Example:cis and trans 2-butene ,D-threose and D-erythrose. Epimers are carbohydrates which vary in one position for the placement of the OH group. A confomer is an isomer of a molecule that differs from another isomer by the rotation of a single bond in the molecule. Reference:google

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
