Assertion : Diastereomers have different physical properties. Reason : They are non-superimposable mirror images.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
  3. CIf assertion is true, but reason is false
  4. DBoth assertion and reason are false statements.

Correct answer

C. If assertion is true, but reason is false

Step-by-step solution

Stereoisomers which are not mirror images of each other are called diastereomers. Diastereomers have different physical properties. Note : Diastereomers have similar chemical properties because they belong to the same family, but they do not have identical chemical properties because of difference in their relative configurations.
