Identify the absolute configuration of the centers of chirality in each of the following compounds as R or S. If two centers of chirality are present, indicate the configurations as: RR, SS, RS, or SR. **Title: Determining Absolute Configuration of Chiral Centers****Instructions:**Identify the absolute configuration of the centers of chirality in each of the following compounds as R or S. If two centers of chirality are present, indicate the configurations as: RR, SS, RS, or SR.**Molecular Structures:**1. **First Structure:** - A cyclic compound with a chiral center indicated by a wedge line. - The structure appears to be a cyclopentane ring with an oxygen atom double-bonded outside the ring. - A dropdown menu is present for selecting the configuration (R or S).2. **Second Structure:** - A six-membered ring with a chiral center marked. - The ring likely contains alternate single and double bonds, forming a typical benzene or similar aromatic ring. - Attached to the ring is an additional carbon chain with another chiral center. - A dropdown menu is provided for the configuration options.3. **Third Structure:** - Shows a five-membered ring with two chiral centers. - Features double bonds and possibly oxygen atoms bonded externally. - Dropdown menu exists for choosing the correct configuration (RR, SS, RS, or SR).**Diagram Explanation:**These diagrams are representations of organic molecules that contain chiral centers. For each molecule, you must determine the stereochemistry (R or S configuration) based on the priorities of the groups attached to the chiral center, as per Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules.**Educational Note:**Chirality is an important concept in chemistry that explains how molecules with the same formula can have different spatial arrangements and properties. The "R" (rectus) and "S" (sinister) configurations describe the spatial arrangement of these atoms around a chiral center. Understanding this is crucial for fields like pharmaceuticals, where stereochemistry can affect drug efficacy and safety.

R/S nomenclature is based on CIP rule which is the atomic number rule. Greater is the atomic number…
