Term
Radical
Definition
A species with an unpaired electron
Term
Electrophile
Definition
An atom (or group of atoms)that is attracted to an electron-rich centre or atom, where it accepts a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bond.
Term
Neucleophile
Definition
An atom (or group of atoms)that is attracted to an electron-deficient centre or atom, where it donates a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bond.

Term
Le Chanteliers Principle
Definition
When a system in a dynamic equillibrium is subjected to a change, the position of equillibrium will shift to minimise the change.
Term
