is ethanol chiral?
Answered by DrBob222
Why would it be chiral?
Answered by ~christina~
It is not chiral.

for a molecule to be chiral it has to have 4 DIFFERENT substituents

ethanol (either carbon)
has one substituent which is a cH3 (methyl) and 3 other hydrogens so there is a repeat of 3 hydrogens and thus it is not chiral.
