Definition of chiral in English English dictionary

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 ")

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

One of the twin droids in Sailor Moon R (Sailor Moon R episode 81)

Of or relating to the structural characteristic of a molecule that makes it impossible to superimpose it on its mirror image

An object whose mirror image is not the same as itself Compounds with four different substituents on a carbon atom are chiral

A compound that cannot be superimosed on its mirror image

An atom, usually a carbon atom, which has four different substituents off it

{s} cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image (about molecules)
