If the lowest priority group (4) is on the horizontal line in a Fischer Projection, how is R/S assigned?
Reverse the result. If is Clockwise (normally R), the actual configuration is S because the group is on a wedge (pointing towards you).

True or False: A molecule must have a chiral carbon to be chiral.
