An achiral molecule is superimposable with its mirror image and ​do not have "handedness" (think of a baseball bat, which can be used with either hand).. Created by Jay.

Are achiral compounds Superimposable?

Achiral objects are superimposable with their mirror images. For example, two pieces of paper are achiral. In contrast, chiral molecules, like our hands, are non superimposable mirror images of each other.

What compounds are Superimposable?

If a compound is superimposable to its mirror image, it is classified as an achiral compound. An example of an achiral compound is methane. Since all of the substituents of the carbon atom in methane are just hydrogen atoms, its mirror image will always superimpose with it.
