Concept introduction:
Enantiomers are the compounds that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
Diastereomers are stereoisomers which are neither mirror images nor identical. If two stereoisomers are not enantiomers, then they are Diastereomers.
Anomers are represented as

Whether the D-galactose and L-galactose are diastereomers, enantiomers and/or anomers of each other has to be explained.
