A and B are stereoisomers.They are nonsuperimposable and are mirror images of one another.Which of the following best describes the relationship between A and B?
A)structural isomers
B)enantiomers
C)conformational isomers
D)diastereomers
E)constitutional isomers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A and B are mirror images of each other, which makes them enantiomers. Option A is incorrect as structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different connectivity. Option C is incorrect as conformational isomers have the same connectivity but differ in their spatial orientation. Option D is also a possibility, but it specifically refers to stereoisomers that are not enantiomers, while option B is a broader term that includes enantiomers as a subset. Option E is incorrect as constitutional isomers have different connectivity and thus cannot be mirror images.
