Chirality is an intrinsic property of a 3-dimensional object.  An object is either chiral, or it is not--no in-between.  The simple test for chirality is to see whether the mirror image of an object is superimposable (identical):  if it is, the object is not chiral (we call this achiral); if the mirror image is different (non-superimposable), then the object is chiral.  The two mirror images have a handed relationship to each other.

Here are some everyday objects.  Look at the mirror image and test whether they are chiral or achiral.

Imagine trying to shake someone's right hand with your left hand. It can be done, but it's awkward! The "lock and key" fit when you shake hands is central to how chiral biological objects (like proteins) recognize and bind to chiral organic molecules.
