Question

Label each of the following chiral centers as R or S. 

The image displays a series of chemical structures, each labeled with a letter from "s" to "x". Here's a detailed transcription and explanation of each structure:

**Chemical Structures:**

- **s.** A cyclohexane ring with a single bond extending from the ring to the top right side, indicating a substituent. The substituent is shown with a wedge, suggesting a specific stereochemistry (coming out of the plane).

- **t.** A cyclohexane ring with a wedge bond indicating a substituent on one side, and an additional branched substituent on the ring extending to the right (tert-butyl group).

- **u.** A cyclohexane ring substituted with a hydroxyl group (OH) on the top, with the stereochemistry indicated by a wedge bond. There is also a double bond (alkene) extending to the right side.

- **v.** A linear chain of carbon atoms showing a bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl) atom as substituents on adjacent carbon atoms, with both shown using wedge bonds to indicate stereochemistry.

- **w.** A linear structure with a triple bond (alkyne) and a single carbon atom shown extending upwards with stereochemical indication (wedge).

- **x.** A more complex structure with a cyclopentane ring and an alkene group, with the bond stereochemistry of the double bond indicated by wedge and dash notation.

Each structure is carefully drawn with emphasis on stereochemistry, which is indicated by the use of wedge and dash bonds. These bonds represent three-dimensional positioning, crucial for understanding the spatial arrangement of atoms and the resulting properties of these compounds in organic chemistry.

This information would be valuable for students learning about organic chemistry, particularly in understanding molecular geometry, stereochemistry, functional groups, and the visual representation of chemical compounds.
