Final answer:

A compound with two chirality centers is called a diastereomer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound with two chirality centers is called a diastereomer. Unlike enantiomers, which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images. They can have different physical and chemical properties.
