Chad introduces Fischer Projections and explains how they give us a little different perspective on viewing chiral centers which is convenient for molecules with many chiral centers like sugars (monosaccharides). In a Fischer projection, the horizontal bonds correspond to wedges and the vertical bonds to dashes in the corresponding bond line structure. Chad then draws the Fischer projection of glucose and shows how to assign R and S configurations to the chiral centers in the Fischer projection of glucose. Finally, he shows how to convert Fischer Projections to BondLine Structures how to convert bondline structures to Fischer projections.
