### Chirality Center in a Molecule**Consider this molecule, which contains one chirality center.**#### What is the highest-priority substituent at this chirality center?- \(\text{—CH}_2\text{CH}_3\)- \(\text{—H}\)- \(\text{—CH}_3\)- \(\text{—Br}\)#### What is the lowest-priority substituent at this chirality center?- \(\text{—CH}_3\)- \(\text{—H}\)- \(\text{—CH}_2\text{CH}_3\)- \(\text{—Br}\)#### Name the structure:- \((S)\)-2-bromobutane- \((R)\)-2-bromobutane### Diagram DescriptionOn the right side of the page, there is a structure of the molecule consisting of different colored spheres representing different elements:- **Black** spheres represent carbon (\(\text{C}\)).- **White** spheres represent hydrogen (\(\text{H}\)).- **Brown** sphere represents bromine (\(\text{Br}\)).The 3D molecular structure can be rotated along the X, Y, and Z axes or zoomed in and out for better visualization, which can aid in identifying the chirality center and its substituents.### Explanation:In the context of chirality in organic chemistry, the substituent priority at the chirality center is determined using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. 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
