trust me, bro:

here is the receipt.

the claim

The presence of an axis of symmetry determines molecular chirality

the verdict

REFUTED

the evidence says no

confidence 10/100

The claim that an axis of symmetry determines molecular chirality is incorrect; rather, the presence of certain symmetry elements (such as improper axes) dictates chirality, and molecules possessing standard axes of symmetry are frequently achiral.

Symmetry elements, symmetry operations and point groups

2001 · cited by 0

Symmetry elements such as an axis of symmetry describe symmetrical (achiral) shapes rather than causing chirality [8].

Chirality in molecules is defined by the absence of improper axes of rotation (specifically planes or centers of inversion), and the presence of certain symmetry axes actually characterizes achiral or symmetric objects [10].
