For chirality to be visual, molecules have to be drawn three-dimensionally
Explanation:
The best way is to draw the molecule in it's structural form (i.e. tetrahedral) and compare two mirror images. If these mirror images can be 'spun' and put on top of each other identically, then the molecule is achiral. If, however, they cannot, then the molecule is chiral.
