R or S
Notation used in chemistry to describe the absolute configuration of chiral centers in molecules, indicating the spatial arrangement of atoms.

Chiral
Describes an object, typically a molecule, that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image, illustrating handedness in its structure.
Optically Active
