(N/A) The general formula of an alkyl group is $C_{n}H_{2n+1}$,which is denoted by $R$.
An alkyl group has one hydrogen atom less than the corresponding alkane group. Examples are shown in the table below:

Formula	Structure	Name
$CH_{3}-$	$-CH_{3}$	Methyl group
$C_{2}H_{5}-$	$CH_{3}-CH_{2}-$	Ethyl group
$C_{3}H_{7}-$	$CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-$	$n$-Propyl group
$C_{3}H_{7}-$	$CH_{3}-CH(CH_{3})-$	Isopropyl group
$C_{4}H_{9}-$	$CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-$	$n$-Butyl group
$C_{4}H_{9}-$	$CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CH(CH_{3})-$	$sec$-Butyl group
$C_{4}H_{9}-$	$(CH_{3})_{2}CH-CH_{2}-$	Isobutyl group
$C_{4}H_{9}-$	$(CH_{3})_{3}C-$	$tert$-Butyl group

Give the general formula of alkyl group with examples up to four carbon.
