The chirality of a compound can be determined by assigning priorities to the substituents around a chiral center using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules.
Step 1: Chirality of a compound refers to the asymmetry in its structure that makes it non-superimposable on its mirror image. A chiral center is a carbon atom with four different substituents. Step 2: The configuration of this compound is \( \text{S} \), considering the priority of substituents and their orientation.
