A molecule is said to be chiral or asymmetric, if it does not possess any element of symmetry and not superimposable on its mirror image and this property of die molecule to show non-superimposability is called chirality.
[a]

ClC H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}

achiral molecule, absence of asymmetrical carbon atom.
[b]

C H_{3} - C H_{2} - Cl ∣ C H - C H - C H_{3}

achiral molecule, absence of assymmetrical carbon atom.
[c]

Cl - C H = achiral molecule C H - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}

[d] Allenes exhibits optical isomerism Central), provided that the two groups attached to each terminal carbon atoms are different.

Q. Which of the following is chiral?

$Cl - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - Cl ∣ C H - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$Cl - C H = C H - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$H - Cl ∣ C = C = C H - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

Q. Which of the following is chiral?

Cl−CH2​−CH2​−CH2​−CH2​−CH3​

CH3​−CH2​−Cl∣C​H−CH2​−CH3​

Cl−CH=CH−CH2​−CH2​−CH3​

H−Cl∣C​=C=CH−CH2​−CH3​

$Cl - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - Cl ∣ C H - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$Cl - C H = C H - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$H - Cl ∣ C = C = C H - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$
