- Chirality - Wikipedia
In anatomy, chirality is found in the imperfect mirror image symmetry of many kinds of animal bodies Organisms such as gastropods exhibit chirality in their coiled shells, resulting in an asymmetrical appearance
- Chirality and Stereoisomers - Chemistry LibreTexts
Chirality Chirality essentially means 'mirror-image, non-superimposable molecules', and to say that a molecule is chiral is to say that its mirror image (it must have one) is not the same as it self Whether a molecule is chiral or achiral depends upon a certain set of overlapping conditions
- Chirality: Definition and Examples - Chemistry Learner
Chirality is a concept that deals with the asymmetry or handedness of objects or molecules The term is derived from the Greek word “kheir,” meaning hand Chirality refers to the fact that certain objects or molecules cannot be superimposed onto their mirror images
- Introduction to Chirality: Understanding the Basics
Chirality Chirality refers to a geometric property of a figure or a molecule that makes it distinct from its mirror image This is best illustrated by our hands: despite being mirror images, the left hand cannot be superimposed on the right hand
- Chirality - Chemistry Encyclopedia - structure, examples, number, salt . . .
Chirality is a term that can be applied to molecular mixtures as well as to individual molecular species Mixtures of chiral molecules can range from having 100 percent of the sample representing the same sense of asymmetry
- Chirality Definition and Its Importance in Biology
Chirality, a term derived from the Greek word for “hand,” describes a fundamental property of three-dimensional objects An object is chiral if it cannot be perfectly aligned with its mirror image, much like your left hand cannot be superimposed on your right This “handedness” is a property of shape that extends beyond everyday items
- What is chirality in chemistry? - California Learning Resource Network
Chirality, from the Greek χειρ (kheir) meaning ‘hand,’ is a fundamental concept in stereochemistry denoting a molecule’s non-superimposability on its mirror image
- A new age of molecular chirality | Science - AAAS
Chirality emerges as a key aspect in new technologies developing in fields as diverse as nanotechnology and material and life sciences Beyond sensing chirality, the nonlinear interaction between locally chiral light and matter could allow for imprinting and manipulating properties (such as electron and spin transport) of handed molecules and
