It refers to a tetrahedral atom which is bonded to four different groups. Usually, chiral molecules have an asymmetric center.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Do all triacylglycerols have the same number of asymmetric centers?
Do diastereomers have the same boiling point or melting point?
The melting points of oleic acid, C18:1 delta 9 cis, versus elaidic acid, C18:1 delta 9 trans, are 16.3 degrees Celsius and 44.8 degrees Celsius respectively. What do the data imply about the two fatty acids?
