Answer 1

R S -system: this method for designating the configuration of tetrahedral chirality centers. According to this system, one enantiomer is designated R and other S. [R and S from the Latin words rectus and sinister, meaning right and left respectively. If the path we trace from highest priority substituent to lowest substituents is clockwise, so the enantiomer is R; if path is counterclockwise then enantiomer is S Priority of substituent given by the Chan-Ingold-Prelong sequence rule .CH3 6 CHн, Нас octane Нас (4R,5S)-4,5-diethyloctane The general rule for the IUPAC nomenclature of an alkane and cycloalkane 1. Find the longest carbon chain that contains the maximum number of carbon atom in a straight chain. 2. Number of carbon atom is given by Greek prefixes like meth, eth, prop, but pent etc 3. For saturated compound use 'ane' suffix 4. Start the number of carbon chain to that end where a substitute got minimum number the location and name alphabetically order as the prefix of the parent carbon chain 6. For the cyclo-alkane use cyclo as prefix. 5. Give for every substituent's in
