The priorities are typically based on the atomic number of the atoms directly attached to the chirality center. The higher the atomic number, the higher the priority.**Chirality Center:**A chirality center is typically a carbon atom with four different substituents attached to it, leading to non-superimposable mirror images (enantiomers).**Carol-Prelog Priority Rules:**1. **Identify the atoms attached to the chirality center** and rank them based on atomic number; the higher the atomic number, the higher the priority.2. **If two atoms are the same**, move to the next set of atoms (next atoms in the substituents) and compare their atomic numbers.3. **Double and triple bonds** are treated as if they are bonded to equivalent single-bonded atoms.This information will help to determine which substituent has
