(Kimya) Kimyada bir maddenin Enantiomer/Stereoisomer olup olmadığını belirlemedeki en temel şarttır. Eğer maddenin aynadaki görüntüsü ile kendisi çakışıyorsa chiral molekül demektir
chiral teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı
Of an object that exhibits chirality, as in the left-handed and right-handed versions of a helix
Having handedness Chiral molecules are those that do not have a plane of symmetry and are therefore not superimposable on their mirror image A chiral molecule thus exists in two forms, one right-handed and one left-handed The most common (though not the only) cause of chirality in a molecule is the presence of a carbon atom that is bonded to four different substituents (See "Achiral ")
Having handedness Chiral molecules are those that have a plane of symmetry and are therefore not superimposable on their mirror image A chiral molecule thus exists in two formsone right-handed and one left-handed The most common cause of chirality in a molecule is the presence of a carbon atom that is bonded to four different substituents Pictured below are two chiral molecules with a mirror plane between them (image taken from Stereochemistry)
From the Greek, cheir, hand; an object that is not superposable on its mirror image; an object that has handedness
Of an object that exhibits chirality - as in the left- and right- handed version of a helix
An object whose image is not the same as itself Compounds with four different substituents on a carbon atom
A polyhedron which is not its own mirror image These come in left and right pairs, such as the snub cube Opposite of reflexible
