Chirality:The characteristic of a molecule that has non-superimposable mirror images, making it similar to having left-handed and right-handed versions.
Polarized light: Light waves that oscillate in parallel planes along a particular direction, used in studying optical activity by observing how substances can rotate this light.
Enantiomers:Pairs of molecules that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed, often responsible for the optical activity in compounds
