Answer:
An achiral object is identical with (superimposable on) its mirror image. Chiral objects have a "handedness", for example, golf clubs, scissors, shoes and a corkscrew. Thus, one can buy right or left-handed golf clubs and scissors

Answer:
Because the chair conformation is achiral, we consider cyclohexane to be an achiral molecule. This molecule contains no mirror planes, and mirror image molecular models are not superposable. Therefore this molecule is chiral. This molecule has two stereocenters, so at first guess, it might appear to be chiral.
