Question
**Question 5:** Assign the R and S configurations for all stereogenic centers in the following compounds.

**Diagrams:**

- **(a)** Features a tetrahedral carbon center bonded to a bromine (Br), hydrogen (H), hydroxyl group (OH), and a propyl group (CH(CH₃)₂). This center is a chiral carbon.

- **(b)** Shows a carbon center involved in a double bond, attached to another carbon chain (CH=CH₂), a halogen (Cl), and two hydrogens. No chiral center present due to the double bond.

- **(c)** Displays a complex organic molecule with two chiral centers, each connected to chlorine (Cl) atoms.

- **(d)** Demonstrates a carbon molecule with two identical bromo (Br) groups on opposite sides, along with two hydrogen (H) atoms. It forms a symmetrical structure with no chiral center.

- **(e)** Depicts a central carbon bonded to an amino group (NH₂), hydrogen (H), and two identical ethyl chloride groups (CH₂CH₂Cl). The amino group creates a chiral center.

- **(f)** Consists of a central carbon attached to an amino group (NH₂), hydrogen (H), a methyl group (CH₃), and an ethylene glycol group (CH₂CH₂OH). The carbon is a chiral center.

These diagrams illustrate various molecular configurations, requiring the assignment of R and S configurations based on the spatial arrangement of atoms around each chiral carbon center.
