Chirality

From Online Dictionary of Crystallography

Chiralité (Fr). Chiralität (Ge). Chiralità (It). キラリティ (Ja). Хиральность (Ru). Quiralidad (Sp).


Chirality is the geometric property of a rigid object of being non-superposable on its mirror image. An object displaying chirality is called chiral; the opposite term is achiral.
