  "term": "Organyl groups",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Any organic substituent group, whatever its functional type, that has its single free valence on a carbon atom, such as ethyl, chloromethyl, acetyl or 4-pyridylmethyl. The name is also used as a combining form, as in organylthio and organyloxy groups. A group with its free valence on a heteroatom instead, such as phenoxy, belongs to the organoheteryl groups.",
