<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chirality,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;handedness&lt;/em&gt;, derived from the Greek &lt;em&gt;&amp;chi;&amp;epsilon;&amp;iota;&amp;rho;, kheir,&lt;/em&gt; &amp;quot;hand&amp;quot; is an asymmetry property important in several branches of science.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;An object or a system is called &lt;strong&gt;chiral&lt;/strong&gt; if it differs from its mirror image, and its mirror image cannot superimpose on the original object. A chiral object and its mirror image are called &lt;strong&gt;enantiomorphs&lt;/strong&gt; (Greek &lt;em&gt;opposite forms&lt;/em&gt;) or, when referring to molecules, &lt;strong&gt;enantiomers&lt;/strong&gt;. A non-chiral object is called &lt;strong&gt;achiral&lt;/strong&gt; (sometimes also &lt;strong&gt;amphichiral&lt;/strong&gt;) and can be superimposed on its mirror image.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chirality&lt;/strong&gt; may also refer to:&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;ul&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Chirality (chemistry) of some molecules &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Chirality (mathematics) of mathematical objects &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Chirality (physics) of some subatomic particles &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;The chirality of certain crystalline solids. Of the 230 existing space groups 65 are chiral. Sodium chlorate is an achiral ionic compound but crystallizes in a chiral P2&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;3 space group. An example of an achiral organic compound forming chiral crystals is benzil. Racemic acid is the racemic form of tartaric acid forming a mixture of two enantiomorphic crystals each form consisting of one of the two enantiomers. &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;The chirality of surfaces. Materials with bulk chirality can be cleaved exposing a chiral surface. &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;Chirality (biology) of gastropod shells. Most spirally coiled gastropod shells are &amp;quot;right-handed&amp;quot; in their coiling, but a minority are &amp;quot;left-handed&amp;quot;. &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;/ul&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;See_also&quot; name=&quot;See_also&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;See also&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> &lt;ul&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;Handedness&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness&quot;&gt;Handedness&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;Rigid body&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body&quot;&gt;Rigid body&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;Symmetry&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry&quot;&gt;Symmetry&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;/ul&gt;</div>
