In determining whether a molecule is R or S, what is the first step? a) Orient s

Question

In determining whether a molecule is R or S, what is the first step? a) Orient structure with lowest molecular weight substituent in front b) Orient structure with lowest molecular weight substituent in rear

In R, S configurations, what is the second step in determining whether R or S? a) # the groups from lowest to highest Mw (lowest priority to highest priority) b) # the groups from highest to lowest Mw (highest priority to lowest priority)

If the groups are arranged in a clockwise position, what is the configuration? a) R b) S

Explanation / Answer

Orient structure with lowest molecular weight in rear

# the group from highest to lowest MW( highest priority to lowest priority)

If the groups are arranged in a clockwise position, R is the configuration
