Chirality (Greek handedness, derived from a word stem χειρ~, ch[e]ir~ - hand~) is an asymmetry property significant within many branches of science. An object or even the models is known as chiral whenever it differs from either its mirror image. Such objects so came within 2 forms, which come then reflection of every more, & these pairs of reflection objects are known as enantiomorphs (Greek paired forms) or even, whenever on to molecules, enantiomers. The non-chiral object is known as achiral (occasionally too amphichiral).

A chirality of mathematical objects.
A chirality of some subatomic particles.
A chirality of some molecules in the study of chemistry.
Chirality is also the title of an episode in the television series Strange Days at Blake Holsey High.
