Is 1-bromobutane chiral?

According to the article of bromobutane in this website, bromobutane is a chiral compound.However, I think this is a mistake as the mirror images of the above compund is superimposible.Am I right?

Yep. You're right.

1-Bromobutane is achiral and superimposable on its mirror image. 2-Bromobutane is chiral and not superimposable on its mirror image. Edgar181 12:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
