Two enantiomers of a generic amino acid that is chiral. Chirality /kaÉªËraelÉªtiË/ kaÉªËrÃ¦lÉªtiË is a property of symmetry important in several branches of. Science the word chirality is derived from The, greek (ÏÎµÎ¹Ï), kheir, hand a familiar chiral. objectn object or a system is chiral if it is distinguishable from its mirror image; that is, it cannot be superposed onto it. Conversely, a mirror image of an achiral object, such as a sphere, cannot be distinguished from the object.
In general, chiral molecules have point chirality at a single stereogenic atom, which has four different substituents. The two enantiomers of such compounds are said to have different absolute configurations at this center.he stereogenic atom in chiral molecules is usually carbon, as in many biological molecules. However chirality can exist in any atom, including metals (as in many chiral coordination compounds), phosphorus, or sulfur.
