If a single chiral molecule stands alone in a chemical system (sample) it provides necessarily 100 percent e.e. (enantiomeric excess). This rule is an axiom of stereochemistry, which has not been studied earlier. The present paper discusses conditions when a single chiral molecule can appear in a chemical sample and analyses consequences of such situations. One of the most important consequences is, that the origin of biological chirality can be traced back to such systems in combination with asymmetric autocatalysis.
