You should have to assign R/S to every chiral carbon. I always remember R being clockwise and S being counterclockwise. Hope that helps kitty cat!:| I know that part Briannnnn it’s just that if the drawing of the molecule is all convoluted and I redraw it then I might place the wedges and dashes wrong. If I put them on top it’s one assignment and on the bottom comes out to another. Then when there’s 3 chiral carbons HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF IT’S AN DIASTEREOMER OR ENANTIOMER OR WHATEVER HOW YOU SPELL IT OR MAYBE It’s secretly an identical molecule but I named it wrong… AHG |

enantiomers are when all the chiral carbons switch their R/S configuration and diastereomers are when only one switches its configuration. there’s also meso compounds which are mirror images… do you need to know those?
