It is a point inside a molecule from which on travelling equal distance in opposite directions one takes equal time.
A centre of symmetry is usually present only in an even numbered ring. For example, the mole of trans-2, 4-dimethyl-cyclobutane-trans-1, 3 dicarboxylic acid has a centre of symmetry.
Thus, if an organic molecule contains more than one chiral carbon but also have any elements of symmetry, it is super imposable on its mirror-image, cannot rotate PPL and optically inactive. If the molecule have more than one chiral centres but not have any element of symmetry, it must be chiral.
