- What does chiral mean?
- What is a chiral molecule?
Chiral molecules can be used to control or speed up different chemical reactions. A chiral molecule is non-superimposable on its mirror image. That is, whichever way you turn it, it will never be the same as its mirror image. In this little game you are to decide which objects are chiral and which ones are not!

About the educational games
The educational games are based on Nobel Prize awarded discoveries and were produced between 2001 and 2012. The games have not been updated since production (including potential scientific facts changes) and are provided here on an 'as is' basis by popular demand.
Some of the games run using Ruffle without the need of any plugin, but most of the games still require Adobe Flash Player. Flash is an old technology that has reached end of life. These games will no longer work without a dedicated setup. If you are depending on these games in your profession, please advice your local IT support. We do not have the resources to provide support.
We are working on supporting other games using Ruffle as well. We also hope to publish a new version of the Blood typing game, our most popular game, in mid-2021.
