When used as nouns, chirality means the phenomenon, in chemistry, physics and mathematics, in which objects are mirror images of each other, but are otherwise identical, whereas handedness means the property that distinguishes an asymmetric object from its mirror image. for example, the essential difference between a left and right glove.
