It is a concept often used in chemistry and biochemistry to study the properties of chiral compounds. However, there are various synonyms that can be used to describe this concept, such as chirality, optical isomerism, and handedness. Chirality refers to the property of a molecule that is non-superimposable on its mirror image, while optical isomerism refers to the ability of a molecule to rotate the plane of polarized light. Finally, handedness describes the characteristic of a molecule that exists in two types- left-handed and right-handed.
