chiral. If you were able to make another molecule that is a mirror image of the chiral molecule,
the mirror image and the original molecule will be non-superimposable. i.e. the atoms
surrounding carbon won't completely align. The lack of alignment of the suround atom makes
the two molecules different from each other.
The central carbon must be surrounded by 4 different groups. The chiral carbon is highlighted.
