Methyl is a chemistry word for a very small group of atoms — one carbon atom joined to three hydrogen atoms — that chemists use as a building block when naming and describing many chemicals, such as methyl alcohol. You will really only meet this word in a science class, not in everyday conversation.
甲基（化學名詞）
組成This word probably comes from Greek words for 'wine' and 'wood', because the alcohol it is named after was once made by distilling wood.
同家族的字
- methanolbuilt from 'methyl' — methanol is the simplest alcohol containing a methyl group

I do not want to burden you with a lecture on chemistry but there are some methyls like iron which has both a valence of two and of three. Another example is cobalt which has a valence of both two and three.
