Want this question answered?
Glucose is a Chiral molecule having 4 chiral carbons.
Chiral carbon is the carbon which is connected to four different groups in a molecule.
For a molecule with n chiral centers, there are a possible 2^n isomers that can be formed.

By writing "L-lactate" you basically answered your own question, yes, it is. It is the "left oriented" lactate :)

Based on its structure, it does NOT have a chiral center so NO
it is a chiral molecule as all groups attached to it are different
yes

Put the molecule on a mirror, drawing the two imagees If you try to superpose each other, they are nonsuperposable That means they are not the same molecule and they are chiral. If you look for the assimetric carbon you can realize that the four substituents are different: C*-Br C*-H C*-CH2CH3 C*-CH3 Always you find an ASSIMETRIC CARBON* molecule is Chiral
Compounds that show D or L characteristics are chiral molecules. A chiral molecule has a nonsuperimposable mirror image of itself.
They could by chiral molecules.

Chirality is defined as something that's asymmetric in that its mirror image is not identical, be it an image or a molecule. the capital letters N, J, F, Z, and L are all chiral in their structure.
