Definitions:

Asymmetric Carbons

Carbon atoms bonded to four different groups, resulting in chirality or the existence of nonsuperimposable mirror images.

Chiral

Describes a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image, often resulting in different biological activities for each form.

Achiral

Lacking chirality; not having a non-superimposable mirror image.

Asymmetric Carbon

An asymmetric carbon, also known as a chiral carbon, is a carbon atom that is attached to four different groups, making its mirror image not superimposable on itself.
