Chapter 5: Q31-b (page 148)

Which of the following objects are chiral?

(a) A basketball

(b) A fork

(c) A wine glass

(d) A golf club

(e) A spiral staircase

(f) A snowflake

(b)

Short Answer

Expert verified

NOT chiral

Step by step solution

01

Definition of chiral

The chiral objects are those that cannot be superimposed upon each other.

02

Check Chirality

The dashed line represents the mirror

The images of the fork on both sides of the mirror are superimposable.

As we all know that fork has a superimposable mirror image hence it is not chiral.
