Chiral molecule

A '''chiral molecule''' is a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. Chiral molecules are optically active in the sense that they rotate the plane of [[polarized light]].
 
An atom containing carbon forms optical isomers if one or more of the carbon atoms is bonded to four different species.
