Short Answer

Expert verified

Chiral

Step by step solution

01

Definition of chiral

Chiral objects are those which have non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

02

Check Chirality

The images on both sides of the mirror are not superimposable as the spot position may differ.

As we all know that golf ball has non-superimposable mirror images due to the small pores like the design on the surface of the golf ball.

Hence golf ball is chiral.
