Chirality/Stereochemistry Video Series: Video 2
Chiral carbons are identified as having 4 unique substituents. Finding the Absolute Configuration – R and S comes as a result of ranking and order substituents, specifically by noting the configuration of the top 3 groups.
This video shows you how to prioritize substituents to find R and S configurations using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules.

Thank u so much mam .
You are a great chemistry teacher.
You’re doing God’s work. I thank you.
How to determine if there is a OH bonding to a carbon and the adjacent carbon has a OH as well but its not on the main chain. Like. OH–C(with other two different atom bonding)–C–OH(not on the main chain)–C(with other two different substituend)
AMAZINGGGGG:)
Thanks !! you made my all doubts clear with this video & keep it up .. teaching is well suit you .. 🙂 again thank you …
I love your videos. Thank you so much for them. But I have a doubt:
How many chirality centers are there in 1,1,2 – Trimethylcyclobutane ?
Greatly satisfied.I did find myself a frog inside the well on going through the orgo first time but now I feel like a free bird.Specially I liked the way you breakdown to identify R and S configurations.THANKS A LOT and….
WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.
simply educative
Glad to help, Benjamin!
it is helpful for me
Glad to help Kriishna
it is a helpful lesson .
Thank you so much for your helpful videos. They are very informative!
You’re welcome Chrissy
I will be glad to enroll in any school you teach
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for being a great instructor, your videos are really good, I’m waiting for video #3 on diasteromers and rotation, I’m having a hard time with rotation…Thank You!!!
Thank you Jackie. Did you find video 3?
Thank you so much. I like the way you breakdown to identify R and S configurations.
Thank you Divine! It’s one of my favorite topics
Hi leah, when will you post the next video in this series? Thanks!
I’ve been adding a new video every few days. Check my Youtube channel
Thank you so much! you are the best teacher!
Thank you and you’re very welcome 🙂
