No they are not the same thing....though they are related to each other...but if a compound has chiral carbons that doesnt mean that it will be optically active in all cases as in case of meso compounds...and sometimes a compound is optically active even if dont have an chiral centre...
1...do chirality and optically activity mean the same ???????
