Chemical asymmetry is central to molecular behaviour:
 
Chemical asymmetry is central to molecular behaviour:
−
* **Chirality** — molecules that exist in left‑handed and right‑handed forms

* '''Chirality''' — molecules that exist in left‑handed and right‑handed forms   
−
* **Asymmetric synthesis** — producing one enantiomer preferentially
