Give priority to all the 4 bond attached to chiral centre.
To decide R or S
If 4th priority bond is into the plane and 1-2-3 rotate clockwise
---> R
If 4th priority bond is into the plane and 1-2-3 rotate counter
clockwise ---> S
If 4th priority bond is Not into the plane and 1-2-3 rotate
clockwise ---> S
If 4th priority bond is Not into the plane and 1-2-3 rotate counter
clockwise ---> R
