(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: Each asymmetric carbon atom and if it has (R) or (S) configuration.

Interpretation: Each asymmetric carbon atom is to be marked and its configuration is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist is referred to as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centres. Enantiomers have opposite (R) and (S) configuration.

(b)
