Expert Solution
Step 1

For R , S configuration following steps are required

  • Give each atom connected to the chiral center a priority based on its atomic number .The higher atomic number ,the higher priority .If connected atom is same then we see next connected atom .Higher priority gets 1 and lowest priority gets 4 .
  • Draw an arrow starting from priority -1 and going to priority -3 .
  • If priority -4 is away from view(or) priority -4 is on vertical line in fischer projection form then 

                    Clockwise -> R 

Anticlockwise -> S 

  • If priority -4 is towards view (or) priority -4 is on Horizontal line in fischer form 

Clockwise -> S 

Anticlockwise -> R 

-> Even change at chiral center does not change configuration.
