Talk:Congener

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some references used in making this page:

I noticed that the definition of congener in reference to chemistry is unclear. The term shows up in the article on MRSA, and I followed the link here, however, it doesn't explain how a molecule can be considered similar to another based on closeness in the periodic table. Does it mean that perhaps one atom, or one element, in congener molecules differs between the two molecules but is always something within a small space on the periodic table? If not, what does it mean? 75.81.46.183 02:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)A Random Reader
