Concept introduction:
The compounds which are non-superimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral objects. The pair of two mirror images which are non-identical is known as enantiomers. Enantiomers have same physical and chemical properties in an achiral environment and they rotate the direction of polarized light to equal, but opposite angles.
The objects which are superimposable with their mirror images are achiral objects and these objects have a centre of symmetry or a plane of symmetry.
