    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(mathematics)

    An object that is not chiral is said to be achiral. A chiral object and its mirror image are said to be enantiomorphs. The word chirality is derived from the Greek χείρ (cheir), the hand, the most familiar chiral object; the word enantiomorph stems from the Greek ἐναντίος (enantios) 'opposite' + μορφή (morphe) 'form'.

  4. Chirality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality

    Chirality (/ k aɪ ˈ r æ l ɪ t i /) is a property of asymmetry important in several branches of science. The word chirality is derived from the Greek χείρ (kheir), "hand", a familiar chiral object. An object or a system is chiral if it is distinguishable from its mirror image; that is, it cannot be superposed (not to be confused with ...

    A chirality center is also called a chiral center [16] [17] [18] or an asymmetric center. [19] Some sources use the terms stereocenter , stereogenic center , stereogenic atom or stereogen to refer exclusively to a chirality center, [ 16 ] [ 18 ] [ 20 ] while others use the terms more broadly to refer also to centers that result in diastereomers ...

  6. Stereocenter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereocenter

    A chirality center (chiral center) is a type of stereocenter. A chirality center is defined as an atom holding a set of four different ligands (atoms or groups of atoms) in a spatial arrangement which is non-superposable on its mirror image. Chirality centers must be sp 3 hybridized, meaning that a chirality center can only have single bonds. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Public_Schools

    Chicago Public Schools were the most racial-ethnically separated among large city school systems, according to research by The New York Times in 2012, [47] as a result of most students' attending schools close to their homes. In the 1970s the Mexican origin student population grew in CPS, although it never exceeded 10% of the total CPS student ...

    The chiral symmetry transformation can be divided into a component that treats the left-handed and the right-handed parts equally, known as vector symmetry, and a component that actually treats them differently, known as axial symmetry. [2] (cf. Current algebra.) A scalar field model encoding chiral symmetry and its breaking is the chiral model.

    The centroid (geographical center) of the city is at 16] southeast of 28th and Leavitt Streets in an industrial area near the Chicago Sanitary and Ship (Before annexations in the 1950s, notably for O'Hare International Airport , references placed the geographical center near 37th and Honore Streets.)
