    @@serena_bee No that is not correct. RS configurations have nothing to do with + or - molecules. The only way to determine whether the molecule is + or - is to put the molecule sample into a polarimeter to measure which way the plane polarised light rotates. RS configurations is just a way to express what kind of enantiomer you're referring to so that others know what you're talking about without measuring the optical activity of the molecule.

    I would say there is no easy way to distinguish between enantiomers of 2-amino butane. The only way I could think of is to measure their optical activities in a polarimeter but this only works if you have two separate samples of the enantiomers. It doesn't work if you have a racemic mixture.

    You reverse it because you want the CH3 (or whatever is higher than H) on the dashed block to go on the wedge and then you swap the configuration since you're taking H to the back.

    There are two steps to assigning configurations to stereogenic centres: step 1: assign priority based on the atomic number of the attached atoms (e.g. Bromine is labelled as priority one at 1:30 and hydrogen is priority 4) step 2: orientate the molecule so that the lowest priority atom (usually hydrogen) is at the back, furthest away from the viewer (this position is represented by the dashed bond)

    So in this case, its kind of like imagining that the mirror is in front of the molecule. The Bromine which was on a wedge i.e. in front of the plane would appear to be behind the plane in the mirror. Hence why it is on a dash and is not on the left side of the molecule.

    1:11 Aren't they meso compounds? I don't believe they are enantiomers, because if we assume there is a mirror in front of the compound on the left, it should have a mirrored image, implying the chiral chain that is on the backwards now should be on the front and vise versa, while those who are neither front or back should be the way they are.
