Abstract
Systems that exhibit distinguishable enantiomers under space inversion are not necessarily chiral. A new definition of chirality is proposed that enables true and false chirality to be distinguished. This definition is reinforced by a consideration of parity violation, which lifts only the degeneracy of the space-inverted enantiomers of truly chiral systems.
