JMJones0424 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Do you mean methyl group? Methane is CH4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 That would be a positively charged methyl carbocation. CH3+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 That would be a positively charged methyl carbocation. CH3+ It could just as easily be the carbanion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississippichem Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It could just as easily be the carbanion. Though as written (without charge) it is a methyl radical . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard Deviant Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 When it's attached to an organic molecule, it's the methyl group. It would be written like that (H3C) because it's on the left side, and usually the organic molecules are shown with hydrogens towards the outside and the carbon closest to the bond.
