Asset Overview
This simple organic molecule, (*R*)-bromochlorofluoromethane, demonstrates the phenomenon of **chirality** - if you compare it to its mirror image, the two are not super-posable! The two mirror image forms are **enantiomers**. This is analogous to your right and left hands. Chirality, and **stereochemistry** more generally, is a really important topic in organic chemistry, with real world impacts on pharmaceuticals and drug discovery.
