(a)
Interpretation:
The atom in the given pair that has the higher priority is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When assigning priorities to substituents, the atom having the greater
Answer to Problem C.1P
F has the higher priority.
Explanation of Solution
The given pair of atoms is: F and O.
The atomic number of fluorine is 9 while that of oxygen is 8.
Thus, fluorine has a greater atomic number than oxygen. Hence, F gets the higher priority in this pair.
Fluorine has a greater atomic number than oxygen, and hence, it gets a higher priority.
(b)
Interpretation:
The atom in the given pair that has the higher priority is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When assigning priorities to substituents, the atom having the greater atomic number has the higher priority. In case of comparison between isotopes, the one having the greater atomic mass gets the higher priority.
Answer to Problem C.1P
P has the higher priority.
Explanation of Solution
The given pair of atoms is: P and F.
The atomic number of phosphorus is 15 while that of fluorine is 9.
Thus, phosphorus has a greater atomic number than fluorine. Hence, P gets the higher priority in this pair.
Phosphorus has a greater atomic number than fluorine, and hence, it gets a higher priority.
(c)
Interpretation:
The atom in the given pair that has the higher priority is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When assigning priorities to substituents, the atom having the greater atomic number has the higher priority. In case of comparison between isotopes, the one having the greater atomic mass gets the higher priority.

- Label below statement as True or False. A nucleus that is strongly deshielded requires a lower field strength for resonance.arrow_forwardSecond image is answer that is wrong Please give right answer with explanation please.arrow_forwardCould you explain how you got R for the left side of the molecule on part (f)Also could you explain how you got S for the top stereocenter in part (h).arrow_forward
- help with my organic chemistry homework please. these 2 questions go together you have to answer the one with the NMR spectrum first to answer the second onearrow_forwardI thought these were both S configuration and it was marked incorrect. Are they both S, or one S and the other R? can someone explain. I think maybe I prioritized each atom incorrectly because I wasnt sure what to do when there were double bonds presentarrow_forwardMost shielded and least shielded protons?arrow_forward
- answer both parts in detail don't copy I will downvote answer if u only knowsarrow_forwardHello, can you please explain why this answer is wrong and help me find the answer, I am very confused.arrow_forwardNot sure exactly what I'm doing wrong with this table, it seems to be related to C4H7O2, but also it may be as well that I need to use x for HC4H7O2. Thank you, appreciate any clarification.arrow_forward
