What is meant by chirality

Answers (1)

best_answer

Chirality is the property of objects or molecules that are non-superimposable on their mirror images.

For example, your left and right hands are chiral. Which means that they are mirror images but do not align perfectly.

Chiral molecules have a central carbon bonded to four different groups. This results in two mirror-image forms known as enantiomers.
