Hi there,
A molecule is Chiral if it is not superimposable on its mirror image..
Most chiral molecules can be identified by their lack of a plane symmetry or a center of symmetry...
For example - Your hand is a chiral molecule as it does not have either of theses type of symmetry..
With regard to Organic chemistry, chiral molecules commonly comprise a carbon atom attached to four different substituents..
Hope this helped...
Thank you
