    Chirality
    [chemistry] A chiral molecule l is a type of molecule that has a non-superposable mirror image. The feature that is most often the cause of chirality in molecules is the presence of an asymmetric carbon atom. The term chiral in general is used to describe an object that is not superposable o...

    Chirality
    [physics] A chiral phenomenon is one that is not identical to its mirror image (see the article on mathematical chirality). The spin of a particle may be used to define a handedness for that particle which (in the case of massless particle) is the same as chirality. A symmetry transformation...

    Chirality
    [mathematics] In geometry, a figure is chiral (and said to have chirality) if it is not identical to its mirror image, or, more precisely, if it cannot be mapped to its mirror image by rotations and translations alone. For example, a right shoe is different from a left shoe, and clockwise is...

    chirality
    Having different left-handed and right-handed forms; not mirror symmetric. In the case of molecules, the existence of distinct right- and left-handed forms, known as enantiomers, is due to the molecule containing an asymmetric carbon atom. Chirality is an important property of life-supporting carbon...

    Chirality
    [electromagnetism] The term chiral (əl) describes an object, especially a molecule, which has or produces a non-superimposeable mirror image of itself. In chemistry, such a molecule is called an enantiomer or is said to exhibit chirality or enantiomerism. The term "chiral" comes from the Gr...

    Chirality
    Chirality (iː) is a property of asymmetry important in several branches of science. The word chirality is derived from the Greek, χειρ (kheir), "hand", a familiar chiral object. An object or a system is chiral if it is not identical to its mirror image, that is, it cannot be superposed onto it...
