Doubt & Answer Explanation

Doubt

what is chirality
 

Answer Explanation

A chiral molecule is a type of molecule that lacks an internal plane of symmetry and thus has a non-superimposable mirror image. The feature that is most often the cause of chirality in molecules is the presence of an asymmetric carbon atom.
