Expert Solution
Step 1

If two compounds have same molecular formula but have different structural formula are called isomers. Now isomer are classified as constitutional isomer and stereoisomer. The difference between them is connectivity, if two compound has different connectivity then it is called constitutional isomer. If they have same connectivity then it is called stereoisomer. 

Now stereoisomer is classified as enantiomer and diastereoisomer, if two compounds are mirror image to each other then it is called enantiomer and if they are not mirror image then it is called diastereoisomer.
