Detailed explanation-1: -Stereoisomers are isomers that differ in spatial arrangement of atoms, rather than order of atomic connectivity. One of their most interesting type of isomer is the mirror-image stereoisomers, a non-superimposable set of two molecules that are mirror image of one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images, meaning that one enantiomer will be the mirror image of the other enantiomer. In order to draw an enantiomer, you can determine the stereocenter, then swap the two groups attached to the stereocenter.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of configurational isomers: diastereisomers and enantiomers. Enantiomers are non-superposable mirror images. Almost all of the physical and chemical properties of a pair of enantiomers are identical (melting point, boiling point, solubility etc.)
