The (s) in the chemical name of (s)-3-iodo-2-methylnonane indicates an S-configuration using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system of stereochemical nomenclature. The S-configuration means that an "imaginary" rotation from the highest priority substituent group to the lowest priority substituent group of the chiral center moves counterclockwise (to the left), provided that the lowest priority group is oriented "towards the back" (symbolized by dashed lines).
The highest priority group (iodine in this case) is the one with the highest atomic number and the lowest priority (hydrogen in this case) is one with the lowest atomic number.
If the atoms directly beside the chiral center have the same atomic number (Carbon-2 and Carbon-4 in this case), the atoms next to them will be evaluated until a point of difference is found. Carbon-2 is connected to 2 other carbon atoms and 1 hydrogen atom, while Carbon-4 is connected to only 1 carbon atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. Thus, Carbon-2 has a higher priority, with the point of difference being the carbon atom of the methyl group attached to Carbon-2. Both Carbon-2 and Carbon-4 are connected to one carbon atom from the main nonane chain, but the other atoms connected to Carbon-4 are hydrogen atoms only. Carbon-2 has an extra carbon connected to it and carbon has a higher atomic number than hydrogen.
If there is no point of difference, the central atom is not chiral and cannot be named using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system.
Thus, the structure of (s)-3-iodo-2-methylnonane is
Explanation:
The location of a body with reference to a given point.
Answer:
-
Innate immune system
-
Acquired immune system
Explanation:
The innate immune system is a defense system with which we are all born and which protects us at all times against all antigens, prevents harmful external bodies from entering our body.
The acquired immune system is the second line of defense and develops by exposing itself to various antigens, building a defense against it when the innate system cannot fight the invader.
Answer:
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
