The correct answer is: If assertion is true, but reason is false
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.
