Stereoisomers :- The isomers of a compound which have same molecular formula, same position of substituents and same functional group but differ in the orientation of molecules or substituents in the 3D space is known as stereoisomers. Enabtimers and distereomers are chiral stereoisomers while meso is achiral stereoisomers.
Enantiomers :- The stereoisomers which are non-super imposible mirror image to each other are known as enantiomers .
Diastereomers :- The stereoisomers which are not mirror image to each other is known as diastereomers.
Meso compound :- The achiral stereoisomers having chiral centre. Meso compound contains internal plane of symmetry due to which they are superimposible to its mirror image and are inactive or achiral.
