Interpretation: The stereoisomers should be drawn for the given molecules by using its structure.
Concept Introduction:
Chiral: Chiral molecules contain at least one carbon atom with four non-identical substitutions (or) groups. This type of molecule is called a chiral center.
Enantiomers: The chiral molecules that are mirror images of one another. The molecules are non-superimposable on one another.
Diastereomers: This type of stereoisomers that ae not mirror images of one another and non-superimposable on one another. Molecule with two or more stereocenters it can be diastereomers.
Meso isomers: The molecule with multiple stereocenters that is superimposable on its mirror images. Meso compounds are achiral that are multiple chiral center.
