Stereoisomers and chiral:

Isomers differing only in their spatial arrangement of atoms are called as stereoisomers.

The geometric property of a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image is known as chirality.  Chiral carbon is the one which is attached with four different groups or atoms.

Explanation of Solution

Handedness of the helical coil of telephone cord or spiral binding:

When you look at the helical coil, the handedness of a helical coil is the same in both views.

I.e. if the given coil is left handed twist, then the same spiral has the same left handed twist in the other view also.
