(a) A basketball
(b) A fork
(c) A wine glass
(d) A golf club
(e) A spiral staircase
(f) A snowflake
(c)
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
None of the objects are chiral
1Step 1: Definition of chiral.
Chiral objects are those which have non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
2Step 2: Check Chirality.
The dashed line represents the mirror.
It is known that wine glass has a superimposable mirror image, hence it is not chiral.
