Answer #1

in order to be chiral --> it must have a stereocenter, that is, its mirror image must not fit correctly into th eoriginal object.

a)

unsharpened pencil --> this is symmetric, therefore, no chirality

b)

baseball batl --> this is symmetric, therefore, no chirality

c)

a glove is unique for right and left sides, therefore, choose chiral

d)

hockey puck is symmetric, it is not chiral

e)

glass is chiral, since it has different nonsymmetrical shape and organization
