If a carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with four different atoms or groups, the particular carbon is said to be chiral. And the molecule shows stereoisomerism around that atom.
The structure appears to have 8 chiral carbons.
Eugenol is not chiral because it contains no assymmetric carbons. (carbons with 4 different groups attached to it)
There are 5
Ribose, CHO(CHOH)3CH2OH, is an aldopentose with three chiral carbon atoms . .............H O ...............\ // ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ................H
A chiral carbon (from Greek 'hand') is one that is linked to different groups. It is not overlappable with its mirror image because of this.

aldo pentose contain 3 chairal carbon
Glucose is a Chiral molecule having 4 chiral carbons.
Eugenol is not chiral because it contains no assymmetric carbons. (carbons with 4 different groups attached to it)
There are 5
There are three (3) chiral carbons in monosodium glutamate (C5H8NO4Na), namely the two carbons on either end, alpha and epsilon, and amino-carbon, beta.

Chiral carbon is the carbon which is connected to four different groups in a molecule.
The carbon atom to which four groups are attached either same or different.So every chiral carbon is alpha but every alpha is not a chiral carbon.
A chiral carbon (from Greek 'hand') is one that is linked to different groups. It is not overlappable with its mirror image because of this.
The last chiral carbon.
There are 5 chiral carbon atoms in norethynodred.
