Define homologous series
A group of chemicals with similar properties that vary only with the addition of CH2
Define structural isomers
Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formula
Define functional group
A group of atoms that alters the reactivity of the molecule
Define electro file
An atom or group of atoms attracted to an electron rich species where it will accept a pair of electrons and form a new covalent bonds
Define nucleo file
A group of atoms attracted to an electron deficient species where it will donate a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bonds
