aromatic
some/all the carbon atoms are found in a benzene ring

homologous series
family of compounds with similar chemical properties differing by CH2
10 of 13
functional group
part of the organic molecule responsible for chemical properties

heterolytic fission
when a covalent bond breaks, one of the bonded atoms takes both of the e- forming ions
12 of 13
