How Do You Determine Chirality? [Solved]

(a) (Most reliable) Check to see if the molecule has a pair of non-superimposable mirror image forms. (c) Look for chiral centers – tetrahedral atoms (usually carbon) with four different groups attached. As long as these don’t mirror each other, the molecule is chiral.
