[edit] R

What does the R mean in this image? I can't find the R symbol in the table showing the periodicity of the elements. Could it stand for Arginine? Jecowa (talk) 08:03, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

R stands for radical. You can think of it as a placeholder for any other organic chain. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 12:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] methyl donor

A section discussing the term "methyl donor" should be added, and have "methyl donor" redirect to this page. Mmortal03 (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
