Question

The terms "enantiomer" and "meso compound" can both be used to describe stereoisomers. Which of the following is TRUE?

Enantiomers are not superimposable with their mirror images, but meso compounds are.

The two terms "enantiomer" and "meso compound" are essentially synonymous (meaning 'same').

Enantiomers have an odd number of chiral (stereogenic) centers and Meso compounds have an even number of chiral (stereogenic) centers.

Enantiomers contain at least one chiral (stereogenic) center, while meso compounds need not have a chiral center.

Enantiomers are not superimposable with their mirror images, but meso compounds are.
