What term describes the structural relationship between (2R,3R,4S) -2,3,4-trichloroheptane and (2R,3R,4R) -2,3,4-trichloroheptane?
A) not isomers
B) constitutional isomers
C) enantiomers
D) diastereomers
E) conformers
Diastereomers
Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other, differing in the arrangement of atoms around one or more stereogenic centers.
- Discern the structural links between stereoisomers such as enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers (cis-trans), and meso compounds.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
These molecules have the same constitution, but differ in their stereochemistry at one (3R vs. 3S) or more (4R vs. 4S) stereocenters, making them diastereomers.
