Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Epimers are a specific type of stereoisomer that have multiple stereocenters, these are a pair of diasteromers that differ only in the configuration about a single carbon atom. Q. Statement: Epimers are a pair of diastereomers that differ only in the configuration about a single carbon atom.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sugars may possess different asymmetric carbon atoms. If the configuration of sugars differs only at one asymmetric center such sugars are called epimers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Two sugars which differ from one another only in configuration around a single carbon atom are termed: Epimers Anomers Optical isomers Stereoisomers.
