Dear Student,
Chiral carbon is a carbon in which the four joined gatherings are diverse in nature. To discover whether the given carbon are chiral or not, check the gatherings appended to that carbon particularly those with any useful gathering connected to it. In the event that two carbons appended to the carbon whose chirality is being checked are the same, proceed onward to the following carbon and do this till the gatherings end up being distinctive or the cycle closes. In the event that the cycle closes, the carbon under thought is achiral and proceed onward and check the following carbon particle. On the off chance that the gatherings are distinctive, the carbon is chiral in nature. 
Cheers!!
