Best Answer

Technically "butyl" is a substituent group of a parent chain on an organic molecule.

Buytl consists of 4 carbons and 9 Hydrogens.

If you draw this substituent out, you will notice that one of the carbons on the end does not fill its four bonds. This is because at this point the "butyl" substituent connects to the parent chain.

If Butyl was in its "parent form" it would be called "butane." "Butane" looks like butyl but instead of the parent chain there would be another hydrogen in the parent chains place.
