Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A plain shoe and Jack's bean stalk are chiral. A shoe is chiral because it has a distinct left and right form. Jack's bean stalk spiraling up a pole is chiral due to its helical structure. A baseball bat and a plain spoon are not chiral as they have symmetrical shapes.
