(a)
Interpretation:
The asymmetric atom in the given compounds has
Concept introduction:
The naming of the chiral center and geometric isomers are based on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. If the priority assigned to each group attached to the chiral center in a molecule is in a clockwise direction, then it is the R-stereoisomer, and if this is counter-clockwise, then it is the S-stereoisomer. R and S-stereoisomer are mirror images of each other.
(b)
Interpretation:
The asymmetric atom in the given compounds has
