Solution

The steps in determining whether a given molecule is chiral are:

  1. Draw the molecule in three dimensions.
  2. Draw the mirror image of the molecule.
  3. Try to align the mirror image with the original in three dimensions.

The other options, "If necessary, rearrange any atoms that are bonded to a central atom" and "Draw the molecule as a two-dimensional Lewis structure" are not typically steps in determining chirality.
