No, chiral and achiral are the opposite of each other. Achiral means a compound is superimposable on its mirror image, chiral means it isn't, so it can't be both.

Is a chair achiral or chiral?
achiral
What is the difference between a chiral and achiral?
achiral isusually contain aplane of symmetry
Is bromochlorofluoromethane achiral or chiral?
it is a chiral molecule as all groups attached to it are different
How many chiral centers are present in 2 6 dimethyloctane?
There is only 1 chiral center in 2,6-dimethyloctane. At first glance it may appear that there are two, but in the case of the second carbon in the compound, it is bound to methyl groups, making it achiral.
When achiral starting materials yield a product that contains a chiral center the product will be?
racemic mixture
Is a chair achiral or chiral?
achiral
Is screwdriver chiral or achiral object?
Achiral

Is oxycodone have a cis or trans chiral compound?
Yes, it is chiral
Is 2-propanol chiral or achiral?
Yes, there is a methyl group attached to the number 2 carbon as well as hydrogen, bromine and a hexyl group. All that is required for chirality about a carbon atom is that there be four different groups attached. This requirement is fulfilled in 2-bromooctane.
Is the product of anthracene and maleic anhydride chiral?
Anthracene is not chiral, if you draw a mirror image of the molecule you find that it is superimposable. All chiral compounds must have an enantiomer which is an identical compound that is nonsuperimposable. And maleic anhydride is superimposable as well so therefore it isn't chiral. (If I assume you're referring to a Diels-Alder reaction then you'd probably like to know the answer to this as well.)
Is 1-bromobutane chiral or achiral?
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
What is a chiral compound?
A chiral compound is one that comes in mirror image forms that can't be superimposed by simple rotation and/or translation. The best example of something in everyday life that's chiral is your hands: if you try to superimpose them, either the thumb sticks out the wrong side or the palm faces the wrong way.
