Chirality is a property of asymmetry important in several branches of science, particularly in chemistry, biology, and physics. An object or a molecule is considered chiral if it cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. This means that a chiral object has a distinct handedness, much like how left and right hands are mirror images of each other but cannot be aligned perfectly. In chemistry, chirality is most often discussed in the context of molecules.
