Define the term “chirality”.
Your Answer:
the concept of “handedness” in an object.
Answer:
“Chirality” is the concept of “handedness” in an object. That
is, certain objects, chiral objects, can exist in two forms that
are mirror images of one another, yet are not interchangeable,
like a left- and right-handed glove. In terms of organic
chemistry, a molecule is chiral when it is non-superimposable
on its own mirror image.
