Expert Solution
Step 1

To determine R/S nomenclature, priorities are given by CIP rule -

1. Higher the atomic number of an atom, higher will be it's priority. For example, F ˃ H (atomic number of F is 9 while atomic number of H is 1)

2. If rule (1) fails, then priorities are given by considering atomic masses. Higher the atomic mass greater will be priority. For example, 3T1˃2D1˃1H1

3. Cis-isomer has greater priority than trans-isomer.

4. R ˃ S

5. Atom ˃ lone pair of electron
