Cahn-Ingold-Prelog System for Naming Enantiomers

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

1-bromo-1-fluoroethane is the first example given of stereoisomers that have different chemical properties and polarize light in different ways. An informative video focuses on how to differentiate between the enantiomers using the Cahn Ingold Prelog (R, S)system. Viewers are advised to visualize the left or right handedness of a molecule.
