Explain chirality giving suitable example. How can chirality be checked using elements of symmetry? Discuss giving different elements of symmetry.

Chirality in organic chemistry refers to the property of molecules or objects that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, much like our left and right hands. Chiral molecules have an inherent "handedness," with no superimposable orientation between them, and this property has significant implications in various chemical and biological processes.

An excellent example of chirality is found in the organic compound, 2-butanol. 2-Butanol has two enantiomers, which are mirror-image isomers, denoted as (R)-2-butanol and (S)-2-butanol. These enantiomers have the _____ _______ ____ _________ __________ _______.
