Step by step solution

01

Step 1: What is stereoisomer-

Two or more compounds which differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms are called as stereoisomers i.e the molecules which are stereoisomers of each other are made from same atoms, connected in the same sequence but the atoms are arranged differently in space.
