A methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms â CH3. In formulas, the group is often abbreviated Me. Such hydrocarbon groups occur in many organic compounds. It is a very stable group in most molecules.
Organic chemistry is the study of compounds containing carbon. The four primary categories of organic compounds are: Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleotides and nucleic acids. Carbon has only 4 valence electrons, they bond readily to gain more valence electrons. Carbon can form long chains, branched molecules and rings, these serve as the backbone for organic molecules.
