Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
propyl is a ____
A
three carbon chain
B
three carbon side chain
C
triple bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In organic chemistry, propyl is a three-carbon alkyl substituent with chemical formula −CH 2CH 2CH 3 for the linear form. This substituent form is obtained by removing one hydrogen atom attached to the terminal carbon of propane.

Detailed explanation-2: -In organic chemistry, propyl is a three-carbon alkyl substituent with chemical formula-C3H7.

Detailed explanation-3: -Propyl (propyl group; Pr): A portion of a molecular structure equivalent to propane minus one methyl group hydrogen atom:-CH2CH2CH3. Sometimes abbreviated as Pr.

Detailed explanation-4: -Since we have 3, one carbon side chains, it is called “trimethyl".

Detailed explanation-5: -A 3-carbon substituent is called a propyl group. When all 3 carbons are connected in a row you get an n-propyl or ‘normal’ propyl substituent.
