alkyle
Alkyle refers to a functional group or substituent derived from an alkane by the removal of one hydrogen atom. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons consisting of carbon and hydrogen atoms joined by single bonds. When one hydrogen atom is removed from an alkane molecule, the remaining part is called an alkyl group.
The general formula for an alkyl group is CnH2n+1, where n is a positive integer representing the
Alkyl groups are typically nonpolar due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen atoms being
