Which of the following objects are chiral?

(a) Coffee mug (b) Hammer (c) Corkscrew (d) Glove

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

A coffee mug and a hammer are each superimposable on their mirror images (achiral). A corkscrew has a helical thread (a handed spiral) and a glove fits only one hand; their mirror images are non-superimposable, so they are chiral.

Ans. (B) (c) and (d).
