Answer: B, D
A: tert-butyl is (C,C,C) and vinyl is (C,C,H) at the first sphere: true. B: −CHClX2 is (Cl,Cl,H) and −CHX2Br is (Br,H,H); compare the highest atoms first, Br>Cl, so −CHX2Br wins: false. C: −CDX3 is (D,D,D) and ethyl is (C,H,H); C>D so ethyl wins; isotope mass is a late tie-break only: false. D: both are (C,C,C) at the first sphere; at the next sphere phenyl has branches {C,C,H} while tert-butyl has {H,H,H}, so phenyl wins: true. Correct: A and D.
