When an Object and Its Image Are Superimposable the Object Is?

If an object and its mirror image have superimposable shapes, the object is achiral. 2. If an object and its mirror image have non-superimposable shapes, the object is chiral.

What are superimposable images?

What are superimposable images? Superimposable (superposable): The ability for an object to be placed over another object, usually in such a way that both will be visible. Often interchanged with broader term superposable (the ability for an object to be placed over another object; without the visibility restriction).

When an object and its image are superimposable The object is <UNK>?

If an object and its mirror image are superposable, then the object and its mirror im- age are identical, and there is no possibility of enantiomerism. We say that such an object is achiral (without chirality). An achiral object has at least one plane of symmetry.
