Ether
In organic chemistry, ethers are a class of compounds that contain an ether group—an oxygen atom bonded to two organyl groups (e.g., alkyl or aryl).
Functional group
In organic chemistry, a functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions.
See Wurtz reaction and Functional group
Grignard reagent
Grignard reagents or Grignard compounds are chemical compounds with the general formula, where X is a halogen and R is an organic group, normally an alkyl or aryl. Wurtz reaction and Grignard reagent are coupling reactions.

Silver
Silver is a chemical element; it has symbol Ag (derived from Proto-Indo-European ''*h₂erǵ'')) and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. The metal is found in the Earth's crust in the pure, free elemental form ("native silver"), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite.
SN2 reaction
Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) is a type of reaction mechanism that is common in organic chemistry.
