Symbolically, like -CH3. In actuality, it doesn't "look" like anything because it's far too small to see with visible light, even with a microscope.

Why only methyl ketones give iodoform test?

Methyl ketones like acetone can undergo oxidation reaction with iodine and sodium hydroxide to form iodoform due to the presence of the methyl group (-CH3). The reaction involves the formation of a carboxylate ion intermediate that contains an acidic hydrogen atom on the methyl group, which leads to the production of iodoform. Other ketones lacking the methyl group do not undergo this reaction.


Is Methyl the functional group that is commonly found in alcohols?

No, methyl is not a functional group commonly found in alcohols. The functional group that is commonly found in alcohols is the hydroxyl group (-OH). Methyl, on the other hand, is a functional group commonly found in compounds called methyl groups (-CH3).


How is methyl made?

There is no such thing as a lone 'methyl'. A methyl group is a CH3 extending off an organic compounds main carbon chain. They can be created by the Sn2 reaction on iodomethane, or by the reaction of methyl lithium or MeMgCl with a carbon atom that is substituted with a leaving group

How can a methyl group be added to an alkane?

A methyl group can be added to an alkane through a process called alkylation, where a methyl halide, such as methyl iodide, reacts with the alkane in the presence of a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide. This reaction results in the substitution of a hydrogen atom in the alkane with a methyl group, forming a new alkylated compound.
