Common Chiral Objects mirror mirror mirror Chirality in Organic Molecules If a mirror image of a molecule can be placed on top of the original,and the 3 dimensional arrangement of every atom is the same,then the two molecules are superimposable,and the molecule is achiral. If a molecule has a non superimposable mirror image,it is chiral.
