Ans
Epimer- They are diastereomers that contain more than one chiral carbon but differ to each other at only one chiral carbon position
Anomer- Cyclic monosaccharide that are epimer and differ from each other C1 carbon in aldose and C2 carbon in ketose.
Enatiomer= The chiral molecule that are mirror images of each other
