Definitions:

Achiral

Describing a molecule that is superimposable on its mirror image, thus not exhibiting chirality.

Chiral

Describes a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image, often leading to different reactions and interactions depending on the spatial arrangement of its atoms.

Enantiomer

A molecule from a duo that resembles its counterpart as a mirror reflection but cannot be perfectly overlaid, similar to the relationship between the left and right hands.

Achiral Molecule

A molecule that is superimposable on its mirror image, lacking chirality or a distinct handedness.
