Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
R and S configuration is to be assigned to the molecules by re-orienting the substituent.
Concept introduction:
Rule 1:
a) Higher
b) An atom node duplicated closer to the root ranks higher than one duplicated further.
Rule 2: Higher
Rule 3: Z precedes E and this precedes nonstereogenic (nst) double bonds.
Rule 4:
a) Chiral stereogenic units precede pseudoasymmetric stereogenic units and these precede nonstereogenic units (R = S > r = s > nst).
b) When two ligards have different descriptor pairs, the one with the first chosen like descriptor pairs has priority over the one with a corresponding unlike descriptor pairs.
c) r precedes s.
Rule 5: An atom or group with descriptor R has priority over its enantiomorph S.
b)
Interpretation:
R and S configuration is to be assigned to the molecules by re-orienting the substituent.

- Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR.
