A chiral atom **is an atom bonded to 4 different -R groups.**
To elaborate, chirality refers to the property of a molecule that makes it non-superimposable on its mirror image. This often arises from a carbon atom (though not exclusively) that is bonded to four different substituents (or "R" groups). This unique arrangement allows for the existence of two enantiomers, which are mirror images of each other.
