### Organic Chemistry - Stereochemistry Practice

#### Draw the following molecules. Clearly show the stereochemistry in your drawings!

---

**(a) (3R)-3-fluorooctane**

**(b) Draw a Fischer projection of (2S)-2-bromopentane**

---

**Instructions:**

1. **(3R)-3-Fluorooctane:**
   - Alternatively, you can break it down into constituents: 
     - Octane: C8H18
     - Fluorine (F) at position 3
     - Ensure the 3rd carbon has the appropriate stereochemistry (R configuration).

2. **Fischer Projection of (2S)-2-Bromopentane:**
   - Depict the carbon chain vertically.
   - Place Br on the 2nd carbon.
   - Ensure that the overall configuration for the 2nd carbon matches the (S) arrangement.
