Expert Solution

Step 1

Priority order is given to the different groups and atoms attached to the stereogenic carbon carbon. The fourth priority atom or group must be present in the dash line. If the other three groups or atoms are ordered in a clockwise manner, the absolute configuration is R and if the order of the atoms or groups is anticlockwise, the configuration is S.
