When you find R or S configuration, How do you determine the priority?
ex: O, Cl,S, N

i always thought it was MW, but i might be wrong...

thats right, look at a periodic table, the highest MW = highest priority 👍

but let me just go out there and say this, you probably already know this but its not the biggest molecule or the most MW of the molecule, its the MW of the atom attached to the C atom...you can have CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 and NH2 would still have a higher priority...

yup, i guess its good to be clear that we are talking about the atom.

Wow good for you man! Ive just now finished destroyer once through. man what a battle haha, but that thing is money. for bio and orgo i did well and got most of them; im sure the second time through ill get even more. gen chem is another story though, balls.
