How to Find Chiral Centers & the Difference Between Chiral vs Achiral Molecules | Organic Chemistry

Chirality can be tricky at times but I'm here to clear that confusion! In this video, we will go over the major differences between a chiral and achiral molecule, common mistakes and how to find the chiral centers to any molecule. This is all to help you stressless in Organic Chemistry! 🤓

💁‍♀️ HI I'M MELISSA MARIBEL
I help students pass Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I used to struggle with this subject, so when I finally graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, I became a tutor so that you wouldn't have to struggle like I did. I know that with the right help, YOU CAN LEARN ANYTHING!
