Hi Disha,
An alkyl is a functional group of an organic chemical that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, which are arranged in a chain.
They have general formula CnH2n+1
Examples include methyl CH3 (derived from methane) and butyl C2H5 (derived from butane). They are not found on their own but are found attached to other hydrocarbons.
| Alkane | Formula | Alkyl group | Formula |
| methane | CH4 | methyl group | -CH3 |
| ethane | CH3CH3 | ethyl group | -CH2CH3 |
| propane | CH3CH2CH3 | n-propyl group | -CH2CH2CH3 |
| butane | CH3CH2CH2CH3 | n-butyl group | -CH2CH2CH2CH3 |
