    Please can you show an example of one where H is in the plane of the pledge. I read your comment below about it, but didn't quite understand.

    Best trick is this: switch H with whatever is in the back ("wedged") then determine R/S. The "true" R/S will be the opposite of that.

    Thank you!!!!!! This looks so much simpler now that I'm not under pressure to learn this! I'm still retaking my Chem 112 class to hopefully boost my GPA by bettering my Chem grade. I get this now! Yayay! I've struggled with Chem for a year now and am just now breaking through. Whew!
