  Weblink 12.5 View and rotate the molecules shown in Fig. 12.27

In 1,3-dichloroallene the end CHCl groups cannot rotate indendently of one another so the molecule is chiral.

In the substituted biphenyl the large Br and Cl atoms prevent rotation about the central C–C bond, so this molecule is also chiral.
