A subrule of the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system specifies that higher mass number takes precedence over lower when distinguishing between isotopes. Determine the absolute configurations of the reactant and product in the biological oxidation of isotopically labeled ethane.

The correct answer is - S- configuration.

Explanation:

Placing the numbers in order of the priorities of each reactant in the reaction is essential to determining the configuration of the reactant and product in the biological oxidation of isotopically labeled ethane.

CH3 - T- D is the correct order of the increasing of the priorties. so this is moving from CH3 to D which is Anti-clockwise which means the configuartion is S as we know clockwise movement is R configuarion and anti-clockwise in S configuartion.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

with this one i know the answer in craters one reason i looked it up and i learned about it there is my evidence
