Select ALL statements that correctly describe stereochemical terms.
Answer
Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images, Epimers differ at a single specified chiral carbon, Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images
Explanation
Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images. Epimers differ in configuration at one chiral carbon, and diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images. Isomers share a molecular formula, so the final option is incorrect. **Key takeaway:** These terms distinguish different relationships between molecular configurations. **Glossary:** Stereoisomer: molecule with the same bonding pattern but different spatial arrangement.
