Expert Solution
Step 1: Definitions of enantiomers and diastereomers

Enantiomers are isomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of eachother.

They have exact opposite configuration.

Enantiomers are optically active.


Diastereomers are isomers that are not mirror images of eachother. 

They differ in configuration at one or more chiral carbons but have same configuration at least one chiral carbon. 

A compound must have at least two chiral carbons to have diastereomer.
