Chirality belongs to the discipline of stereochemistry, which is the study of the 3-dimensional structure of molecules. Chiral compounds are optically active, that means they rotate polarized light to the left or to the right depending on their configuration.
An object that is chiral is an object that can not be superimposed on its mirror image. Chiral objects don't have a plane of symmetry. An achiral object has a plane of symmetry or a rotation-reflection axis, i.e. reflection gives a rotated version. Optical isomers or enantiomers are stereoisomers which exhibit chirality.
