First, give priority according to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention rules:
The higher the
If priority cannot be assigned according to atomic mass, then assign the priority according to the first point of difference.
After giving priority to four groups, rotate the molecule such that the fourth priority group is at horizontal position.
Now, move from 1-2-3; if it is clockwise, then it is
Enantiomers have opposite
